Debbie School Gets Dream Playground
|
| The Debbie School was a beehive of activity Saturday as 250-plus volunteers installed the kind of modern playground staff and students have been dreaming about for decades. |
Here's how to fulfill a dream: Take a mountain of mulch, a pile of sand, a few tons of concrete, 15 wheelbarrows, an army of enthusiastic volunteers, a blueprint designed by students, and a unique organization dedicated to bringing play to every child in America. Mix everything together on a sweltering July Saturday. Add some upbeat music, a lot of smiles and enough sweat to fill a pool, and voila!
