More than two dozen people gathered last weekend at Toro Elementary School to begin assembling a playground for deaf and hard of hearing students. Students from across the county attend the classes.
Teachers and community volunteers, including staff and parents from the MCOE Deaf and Hard of Hearing program, the Corral de Tierra Rotary Club and Church of the Good Shepherd, began the work by “snapping” together and turning bolts on pieces of the equipment supplied by Ross Recreation. Once completed, Ross Recreation will provide the necessary safety checks to meet state and federal guidelines and tests prior to the playground becoming operational. The playground is anticipated to be completed soon, according to Marci McFadden, spokeswoman for the Monterey County Office of Education. A ribbon cutting ceremony is scheduled for next week.
