Bert Raney Elementary to get new playground this summer
The Bert Raney Elementary students are excited about the recent announcement that the school board approved at the December meeting, a new playground installation this summer. Bert Raney Elementary’s current playground was installed in 1995 by Miracle Playground of Redwood Falls,, and has a variety of repairs and replacements that have led to the need for a new playground. In 2021, the district realized they could no longer get new replacement pieces for the current playground, and started to seriously discuss replacement. The playground being as old as it is has far exceeded its expected lifespan of 15 years. BRE Principal Lisa Hansen notes that the playground is heavily used year round, so the school has more than gotten its use out of the existing equipment.
