UPDATE: WE DID IT! After just two and a half years, the MPES Parents Fundraising Association raised all of the necessary funds to begin Phase 1 of the Playground Project in July 2015!!! Thank you to ALL of our supporters over the years, school and town administration and staff, sponsors, volunteers, and our amazing PFA members. YOU are what community is all about!
We will still be fundraising for additional features to the playground and we encourage you to donate by clicking on the button below...
In conjunction with the Carnival, the Parents Fundraising Association is hosting a massive raffle to benefit the construction of the first phase of the new playground at Morinville Public School. With a special emphasis on physical activity, imaginative play, and resources for children with sensory and mental disabilities, the playground will be a showstopper and a boon to the whole community. The structures you see below will fill in approximately 1/3 of the current plot and will hold upwards of 120 children!

| The north side of the main structure: feature 3 levels, rock wall, bouncing draw bridge four slides, including a Dragon slide. |
 | ||
| The South side of the main structure, features: musical instruments, climbers, three levels. This structure alone can hold more than 100 children at a time, to give a sense of scale. |
 | |
| Two of these "cozy cocoon" sensory pods are being strategically installed to provide a safe haven for children with sensory challenges. They will be placed facing away from the action of the playground but facing supervisors. The cocoons can sway, wiggle, and gentle spin, all of which are of particular benefit to children with needs. At the same time the windows allow supervisors to ensure that children remain safe. |
