Congratulations to the Children’s Center! They were recently awarded a $15K grant to upgrade the outside play area from the Washington State Department of Commerce. The grant will support the purchase of recycled rubber tiles which will replace the bark chip fall areas and provided a safer more sustainable playground area. Sincere thanks to John McLain, Academic Grants Manager, for his assistance in writing, submitting and presenting the grant application and to Paul Smith, Director of Facilities, for identifying matching funds which will cover the cost of preparing the site and installing the tiles. The project is scheduled to be completed this summer.
