Greens Farms El Opens New Playground

Westport’s Greens Farms Elementary School on Friday opened its new playground. The GFS PTA raised more than $100,000 last April to build the playground, presenting the funds to the Board of Education in June. Construction began with the end of school, and it was completed in time for Thursday’s school opening. Joe Feinleib and Coastal Construction generously donated the demolition of the old playground. The new playground is bigger, allows for more creative play, and is handicap accessible. Testing a new slide were Lisa Thomas (l), a gym teacher, and Michele Carey-Moody, last year’s GFS PTA president. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Contributed photo
