The town of Palisade, using CARES Act funding, has purchased three tents for Palisade High School to use for outdoor learning and gathering spaces.
The town ordered three tents last fall and used federal funding for COVID-19 relief to help pay for them, Town Administrator Janet Hawkinson said. They were finally delivered this week and town staff, Palisade Police and Palisade High School staff helped erect the tents Tuesday.
âWe knew schools were getting tents for outdoor classrooms so we reached out to the high school to see if they wanted some,â Hawkinson said. âThey did request three, so that is part of the CARES Act funding.â
