One of the guest's at last Friday's meeting was Shanna Myers, Highland Elementary School PTA Treasurer, who shared information about the PTA raising funds to expand the playground at the school to be more inclusive for children of all abilities. Current equipment is very inadequate and many of the students cannot use the equipment because of the large number of students at the school. The estimate to upgrade the all inclusive equipment is $57,155.97. Shanna has approached the Lake Stevens Chamber of Commerce and is looking for other sources of funding for the project. Recently, Highland Elementary School became the home base for northern Snohomish County's Structured Learning Center for Early Childhood Special Education at the start of the 2018-19 school year. This is the reason for the fundraiser by the PTA.
