CHARLESTON, Mo. (KFVS) - Warren E. Hearnes Elementary School will soon receive new playground equipment, including some pieces that are inclusive.
The project is possible because of a grant from the Mississippi County SB40 Board, as well as the CDC Healthy Schools Grant and local funding.
According to the school district, a large, inclusive play-place will be installed to the west of Pod E on the upper elementary playground. It will have a ramp, climbers, slides, tunnels, shaded sections, a tilted rock challenge wall and more.
