Play It Forward: Broadway Elementary

Bringing a new playground to life is a journey! It often takes 2 to 3 years of planning, collaboration, and dedication. For some children it will be a place to play and grow, for others it will be a shared space that strengthens community bonds, and for many it will become a legacy that reflects the heart of our neighborhood. Broadway PTO began thinking and talking about a new playground over the last 2 years and started fundraising, and this year a dedicated playground committee is moving forward with new momentum!
