Lansing USD469 is excited to announce a ribbon-cutting ceremony this Friday, September 20, at 4:00 pm at Lansing Intermediate School. This event will celebrate the installation of our district's first piece of adaptive and inclusive playground equipment—a We-Go Swing.
The equipment, along with the accessible pour-in-place surface surrounding it, was made possible through a collaborative effort. Students in Mrs. Christina Mills's third-grade class proposed the playground design at the January 2023 School Board meeting. They spearheaded the fundraising with the help of many volunteers from our community. Additional funding came from a matching Waste Tire Grant from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the USD469 Supplemental General Fund.
"This was truly a collaborative effort, and we are really excited to celebrate with everyone!" said the playground committee.
Lansing USD469 invites the entire Lansing community to join us in celebrating this milestone!
