A special thank you to the local sponsors who supported the playground project at TES nearly 30 years ago. Your contributions allowed our community's students to enjoy recess with the play structure for many years. It has served us well and is ready for an upgrade. We are pleased to announce that our school board has approved the purchase of a new playground. It is planned for installation in June of this summer. We were able to use special funds from the state specifically for projects like this. We look forward to many years of enjoyment for our community. Thank you again to the contributors of the playground who came together 30 years ago for our students.
