Rhia approached the principal and a couple of teachers with an idea today, one she’s had ruminating for months. She wants to raise funds to replace the old, wooden (now classed as needing to be removed and replaced) and handicapped inaccessible playground equipment. Miami school has one structure, and a set of swings (woohoo…but with only 150 or so students, it works). Rhia has never been able to play well, if at all, on that structure.
