Following an action-filled week of collecting donations, reward and immunity challenges, and 16 calling Howell High School home, the school s annual Senior Survivor fundraiser came to a close Friday.
During the week-long fundraiser, the students raised an incredible $220,427.74. The money raised will help build the Senior Survivor Playground at Genoa Township Park, which will be an inclusive playground that allows people of all abilities to play together. In addition, the playground will consist of natural elements and textures such as logs, stumps, ropes, boulders, and plants. Natural playgrounds are said to present opportunities for individual exploration and discovery as well as collaborative play. A press release states that while playing at Senior Survivor Playground, children will develop physical, imagination, and problem-solving skills through self-directed play.
