MPE Unveils New Playground
We are thrilled to announce the grand opening of the new playground with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and reception on September 10, 2024, at 8:30 AM. This event is open to the public.
The new playground, situated on the lower field behind the school, will provide a dedicated, safe, and age-appropriate environment for upper-grade students to enjoy. Community access to the playground will also be available after school hours, expanding recreational opportunities for all Roswell residents. The playground has been approved by the Fulton County School District and meets all ADA requirements.
Funding for the playground was generously provided through donations, grants, and fundraising events organized by The MPE Foundation.
The Golden Gala held in November 2023 at Brookfield Country Club raised $70,000, and an additional $90,000 was raised through the “Play on Mustangs” FUN RUN on March 28, 2024, in partnership with Activate. There were many community sponsors and donors that helped make this possible including The Gray Family, Shenk Dental, Focus Point Windows and Doors, Silver Oak, and Dover House Mediation. The Foundation also received a $25,000 grant from the Resurgens Charitable Foundation and $11K from the MPE PTA.
Installation was completed on August 23, 2024, and the total cost of the playground is approximately $200,000. We hope you will attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony and reception scheduled for September 10, 2024 at 8:30am on the lower field behind MPE.
