New DCS Playground Shades the Day
The ribbon cutting ceremony for the new state-of-the-art $130,000.00 playground was held on Monday, August 20, 2007. In attendance was DCS President, Dr. Dino Pedrone, Elementary School Principal, Craig Konchak, elementary students, and staff. The playground includes the finest new equipment, swings, flooring, and shade kites. Craig Konchak, DCS Principal, stated "We are committed to providing a healthy surface, safe structure and protection from the sun for our pre-kindergarten and elementary students." The flooring is a specially treated turf that percolates the water in order to maintain the shape of the grass-like blades. The shade kites block out 98% of the UV Rays and reduces the temperature by seven to ten degrees. Mr. Konchak went on to say "This investment will benefit our students immediately and for years to come." |
