<p class="LgBody">A committee comprised of parents, community members, students, and school district staff and administration from McGregor has recently been formed with the goal of designing and constructing a playground to serve both the youth within our school district and community. The playground would help strengthen our youth and committee and would be designed to meet the following 4 objectives: </p>
<ol>
<li class="LgBody">Increase physical activity, improve physical health, and decrease childhood obesity thereby improving self-esteem in our children. </li>
<li class="LgBody">Provide sufficient and appealing playground equipment to allow younger children the opportunity to develop their emotional, social, motor, and cognitive skills. </li>
<li class="LgBody">Provide an environment that facilitates improving social skills for all students and benefits the entire community. </li>
<li class="LgBody">Provide a safe place to implement bullying prevention and provide a positive recreational space for our youth. </li>
</ol>
