Members of the Dunham community gathered for a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the beginning of construction for a new lower school playground. This state-of-the-art playground features new equipment, a large sportsplex, turf fields, shaded areas, and a dedicated sensory area; it will be completed by August of this year. The new playground is a part of the school’s effort to meet the unique needs of younger students. “These new and innovative play spaces will encourage children to exercise their minds, bodies, and imaginations,” says Lower School Head Deedra LaPlace. “The playground plan includes inventive concepts, custom designs, and revolutionary products and equipment that make outdoor play educationally relevant, engaging, and fun!”
