Over the last few years we have been able to provide Bloomington Elementary with some great improvements because of our fund raising efforts.   We have such a supportive community and great volunteers which helped us complete many large projects.  This past year we donated $22,000 for computer equipment.   During the next couple of months the computers will be ordered and delivered to the school for our students to begin using.    Some of the other projects we have been able to provide are listed below.  We appreciate all of your support!

Outdoor Awnings – If you’ve been by the school you have definitely been able to see these great awnings.  They were placed over all 3 playground equipment areas and also over the patio outside the multi-purpose room.  We are so happy with how they turned out.  They not only provide shade from the hot sun, but keep the equipment cooler for play and provide shade for outdoor eating at lunchtime. We have had so many positive comments in regard to the new awnings.

Sound System -  Finally, we are able to hear the school programs in the multi-purpose room! We were able to replace the old sound system along with new speakers in the front by the stage and also in the back for the people sitting in the rear.  We also purchased new hand and head microphones.

Covered soft surface for playground – We replaced the wood chips in the new playground area with a foam surface.  This is a soft surface that will require little or no maintenance and will allow all students access to the playground include the kids with disabilities. It will also be a soft and safe surface for all children who may fall from the equipment.  When the students return from summer break they will all love the new surface of the playground.
