"Building this playground with the community has further cemented for us the deep commitment that our families have in ensuring that the students of Barnardsville have safe, engaging, and meaningful opportunities to play and grow," said Principal Danna Grimes.
"Taking on a project of this size is a great endeavor and we have been inspired by the outpouring of generosity from the community to help us see this dream realized. Along with Mission Health, Mountain Animal Hospital, Ohio Electric Motors, and now Publix, we can feel confident that our playground build will be successful."
The school plans to complete and dedicate the updated playground at the beginning of April of 2017.
