SPRD: Kids love the
new playground

touch: door locks, telephones,
buttons on a calculator, things
to twist and turn, open and
shut and more.
“I want one of these for my
house,” said Ashley Nordell,
one of the preschool teachers
in the Dragonfly Classroom
(students age 4-5).
A grant from The
Roundhouse Foundation
coupled with donations
from Northwest Playground
Equipment and the Portland
Children’s Museum helped
to bring the space to life with
new outdoor toys, a stage,
interactive toys found along
the walls, and water tables.
The Sisters Elementary
School administration
allowed the space to be con-
verted to use in this way and
worked together with SPRD
staff to ensure proper instal-
lation of the new playground
equipment.
SPRD staff member Rob
Meeter committed well over
two weeks worth of work
including leveling the play
area, pouring concrete and

mounting two spring rider
toys, installing privacy fenc-
ing, designing and construct-
ing the theatrical play area
complete with bounce-back
flooring, building a play
table, spreading bark chips
and setting up toys to make
the space very user-friendly.
In addition, Joel Priest, a par-
ent of one of the students in
the preschool, developed and
built a sand play table —
which was a big hit with the
students.

“Without Rob we wouldn’t
have the space we have
today,” said preschool teacher
Valerie Selig. “This space is
so nice — just right out our
back door, the kids are loving
it.”
The Sisters Park
& Recreation District
Community Preschool runs
on the same academic cal-
endar as Sisters Elementary
School and is set to wrap-up
its 2015-2016 year. Having
the preschool housed at the
elementary school is a big
benefit to the students in the
program. Students are able to
spend time in the building, get
to know the way the school
is laid out, the rules; and are
even invited to participate in
school assemblies and activi-
ties. Having students transi-
tion out of the preschool pro-
gram into kindergarten helps
make the move easier on the
students and the parents.
