INDIANAPOLIS — The Irvington school that raised the $200,000 needed to build a playground in memory of a student, announced progress in the project this week.
Students came up with the idea to build the playground as a way to honor Hannah, who was a first grader at the school. Students even got to pick the colors for it — yellow, with two shades of blue and gray.
George W. Julian IPS School 57 surpassed its fundraising goal. They recently posted new pictures of the playground. They said they’ll start demolishing old playground equipment in a few days, and two more murals are in process.
In a previous Facebook video, Michelle Pleasant, PTSA president and co-chair of the Hannah’s Memorial Playground Project, talked about meeting their goal.
