There is a newest addition to the Lower School playground — a shrimp boat. Beaufort Academy would like to thank the Parents’ Association for all of their work in both fundraising and collaborative planning to make this happen. The students are thrilled with the new playground equipment, and can’t wait for recess each day. Special thanks also to Virginia Rhodes for her coordination of the project, and JH Hiers Construction, Grayco, Mother Earth Landscaping, and Jay Roberts for donations to both prepare the area for the additions, as well as improve the existing areas of the playground. Also, thank you to the folks who came last Saturday to help with the final step, spreading the mulch: Stephen and Christy Schools, Wendi and Phillip Lynn, Leta Matte, Jackie Adams, Katherine and Ashley Hefner and Shannon and Jay Roberts. Third graders set sail.
