| Play on the Bay was a big success!
Thank you for your support in raising awareness and finances for Pioneer Day School’s future Therapeutic Sensory Playground. In addition to serving as a fun and creative element of Pioneer’s unique environment, the sensory equipment will feature many benefits that one may easily overlook. As children engage in the dynamic aspects of the recreation items, their brains will be growing along with their bodies! The equipment will provide the means to improve areas such as muscle coordination, sensory processing skills (through vestibular and proprioceptive input), bilateral hand skills, core strength, postural control, visual motor skills, gross motor coordination, attention to task, interpersonal skills (turn taking, self-pacing, communication skills), and fine motor skills (as intrinsic hand strength increases). The investment you make into the lives of the students at Pioneer will not only be used for brief moments of “play”. As they engage in meaningful, sensory-based tasks, their brains will be forever changed as new neural pathways form! Thank you again for your contributions!
With everyone's help we raised $11,243.41 for our playground!
The pictures have arrived and some of them have been posted to our photo gallery.
