An
exciting assembly was held at Raymond Elementary School (RES) to announce the
official launch of their playground project. As a reminder, RES is the
recipient of the military’s Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) which will help
with the building of the new improved playground space. The Maine National
Guard will begin their two-week training soon, making many of the necessary
improvements.
The
school assembly focused on using this unique opportunity to demonstrate to the
students’, their resilience and the idea that if they see something that needs
change, they can be the one to make it happen.
Thanks
to a generous donation from Messer Truck Equipment in Westbrook, the children
and staff
got to go home from the assembly, with a bracelet that contained the
message, “Be the change".
The
students and staff also demonstrated their gratitude toward the military members
that will be coming to serve the town of Raymond in this fantastic project. To
show their gratitude and to honor the military members who are working on this endeavor,
RES will host a special event for them.
Mark your calendars for a Community Ice
Cream Social that will take place on the afternoon of Sunday, June 25.
The
school will become a military base and therefore no public access will be
allowed to the RES, Jordan Small Middle School or the trail system around the
schools. The last days for access to these properties will be the last day of
school until Sunday, July 2.
An
information meeting will be held at RES on Thursday, May 4 to discuss the
project and answer questions the public may have. All are welcomed to attend.
