Big thanks to the Scouts from Troops 432 and 9432 for volunteering their time and reinstalling the rails on our kindergarten playground! Thanks Min Leamon and the scout leaders for organizing this adventure on Sunday!

The rails help contain the sand in the playground and keep it from pushing on and deforming the new fence. They were removed when our new fence was installed and it took some time to find people to replace them. Thank you so much Scouts!
