Playground Equipment ~ JB, DB & KC

New playground equipment has been a big debate since 2018. Most people want new playground equipment, and a few people would rather keep it the same. We are some of the people who would like new playground equipment.

It seems that the little kids fortunately got new playground equipment in the last few years, but the big kids’ playground still has no new equipment. Barely anyone plays on things like the orange monkey bars, the green monkey bars, or the long wide asphalt, especially in the winter. While working on this presentation we got a gaga pit. We asked Mrs. Hausman if we were the ones who gave them the idea to get a gaga pit. “No we already had that planned but you three influenced us to get one.” Mrs. Hausman announced.

We have interviewed our 5th grade class on what new playground equipment they would like. The gaga pit took first place with 24 votes! Other people want things like gymnastics equipment, trampolines, slides, better basketball hoops and nets, as well as new soccer net. “Our playground equipment is boring.” Maddy said, one of the 5th graders we interviewed.

We asked our principal, Mrs. Vigneron, if she believes that we need new playground equipment on the big playground, and she said, “Yes, I do.” Mrs. Vigneron explained that she wants equipment that the kids at Beverly would like. For example, stuff to climb on or a Gaga Pit. Lastly, when asked if the playground is safe, Mrs. Vigneron said, “Yes our playground is safe because every year our playground is checked to make sure it is safe.”
