Last week, Norfolk Highlands Primary (NHP) celebrated the opening of their brand new playground with an exciting ribbon-cutting ceremony! Students snacked on popsicles with their classmates, enjoyed the debut of their new playspace, and even broke in their new playground equipment. This project was made possible through the collaboration of two of our departments! Special thanks to Doug Parks and Don Herrera from School Plants as well as Lina Kennedy from Risk Management for bringing this new playground to NHP and their commitment to supporting the needs of the students in our district.
