Thank you for hanging out with our students and sharing your passion for nutritious, sustainable food, Chef Jason!

💚💛✂️ The ribbon has been cut, the playground is open, and the hardest part is officially getting everyone to come back inside! 😂🛝

THANK YOU to everyone who helped make Northumberland Elementary School’s playground ribbon cutting such an amazing celebration!

To our Booster Club, generous sponsors, donors, families, staff, Board of Supervisors, School Board, division leaders, and incredible COMMUNITY—your support helped turn a dream into a place filled with laughter, friendships, and adventures. 💚💛
👏🎉

We’re pretty sure the students would vote to hold all future classes on the playground… and a few teachers might second that motion! 🤣

Thank you for showing what happens when a community comes together for its children. Let the sliding, climbing, and “just five more minutes!” begin! 🎉
