| Efforts to construct a playground for Calhoun Middle School students is back on track, according to Jan Whited. Whited is seeking community help to move the project along.
A meeting on the project is scheduled for August 3rd at 2 p.m. at Calhoun Middle/High School. "We really need parents and community members to come and support this project," said Whited.
The long proposed playground has gone through several committees, the issue of where the playground would be located on the Mt. Zion campus and what appears to be a lack of funds to construct the playground.
The playground site has been designated.
Student from 5th through 8th grade have been essentially using the parking lot for recreation since the new school was built.
A few years ago the playground received a $10,000 Budget Digest grant to purchase equipment, but it has never been used.
"I feel that this project is very important to the school and community and I would love to see a playground for the students when school starts this year," said Whited.
