RES's vision becomes reality with new playground area

Abigail Murphy / TPI Reeltown Elementary School officially opens its new playground section with playground equipment for students specially needs.

After nearly a year in the making, Reeltown Elementary School unveiled its new playground for students with special needs. 

Paraprofessional Jadie Hood said she had a previous special needs student who couldn’t use the elementary school playground well. Hood wanted to find a way to help this student feel included and provide her with something she could play independently on. But also, for all special needs students to have a space to play now and in the future.
