Rio Dell Elementary School gets updated Playground

RIO DELL, Ca (KIEM) – Rio Dell Elementary School students will be going back to the classroom with an updated educational playground.

The school partnered with Fortuna Sunrise Rotary, community members, and alumni to give the playground a new look. The new additions include a colorful map of the United States, a multi-purpose circle, and two hopscotch games. They plan to use a program called Peaceful Playgrounds. While help kids stay active during recess but also keeps them out of trouble.

“The kids stagger out through recesses, and so our first day of school we’re going to introduce a lot of the different games. And then teachers throughout their P-E programs throughout the year will introduce the games weekly,” said Angela Johnson, Rio Dell Superintendent.

The kids will get to see the brand new playground when school is back in session later this week.
