New Play equipment is coming!!!!

In March, the Playground Improvement Committee sent out a Request for Proposals to 8 local vendors of play equipment.  We received proposals from 5.  The committee, including Mrs U, as well as staff from JSIS and LSA, have narrowed the choices down to 2.  We used a standard set of criteria required by SPS.  The top 2 were very clearly ahead of the others.  Each vendor has supplied several proposals that fit within our space and our budget.   Each vendor only sells and installs one brand of equipment.  Unfortunately we have to select one vendor/installer.  

  These are ONLY EXAMPLES.  

AFTER we select a vendor, we can select other items from their catalog that fit our space and budget.    Feel free to look at their websites to get an idea of other equipment they offer.
Mrs U posted a set of these images in the lunch room this week.  The children will be voting During gym class this week!  

  See link to Survey Monkey  for you to add your vote or comments.  

There is a section in the survey for you or your children to say what items they most like on a playground.  Be aware that SPS will not allow many types of equipment such as zip lines, swings, high climbing walls...etc...
