Alabaster, Alabama- State Representative
Cam Ward announced a $5,000 today for Thompson Middle School.
Ward made the announcement as he visited with a special needs
class at the school.
The playground is specifically designed for
children who have special needs or are disabled. The equipment
is constructed in such a way that children with these
disabilities can enjoy the full benefit of outdoor recreational
activities just like any other child in school.
Joyce Bulford, who has headed the
fundraising for the new special needs playground stated that the
school almost had all the monies necessary to begin construction
in early spring.
Representative Ward said “this is one of
the most wonderful projects ever undertaken by Thompson Middle
School. So many children with special needs do get to enjoy
activities like other children because of the lack of adequate
facilities. This playground will bring about a positive change
for many of these kids.”
Ward went on to say that he appreciated the support that
Thompson Middle School receives from both the Shelby County
Board of Education and the City of Alabaster. Without the
cooperation and dedicated leadership shown by these two groups
Alabaster would not have made the progress they have made so far
in improving our schools
