THANK YOU, Billings! The project is FUNDED!!!!!!!!

Rose Park Elementary School strives to be a place where physical limitations don’t set children apart but are celebrated and embraced by all; a place where all children can play together and explore the world around them

The Rose Park PTA's goal is to purchase inclusive playground equipment, wheelchair-accessible ground covering, necessary borders, and wheelchair-accessible access ramps.
​
These items will allow for students with special needs to have access to playground equipment - access that they currently do not have - where they can integrate and play with their typically-developed peers. The goal goes beyond the simple addition of a few accessible pieces of equipment but instead focuses on the mutually beneficial and important value of inclusive play between students who are typically-developed and those of diverse abilities.

Your contribution will help make a long-term impact on not only the Independent Living students at Rose Park Elementary but to our community as a whole by:

*Fostering creativity, play, and opportunities for all who use it*
*​Allowing children of all abilities to play together*
*Heightening awareness and sensitivity to persons of differing abilities*
*Increasing inclusive play between peers*
*Improving physical and social/emotional development of all students*
*​Increasing opportunities for community connectivity​​*
