On Saturday, April 5, 2025, the students and staff of Trafford Elementary gathered for a special ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate their brand-new playground. After a lengthy fundraising period, the event marked an exciting milestone for the school and the community, which will enjoy the refurbished play space.
Following the ceremony, children explored the new playground equipment, testing the slides, climbing structures, and swings. To add to the festivities, a variety of food trucks were on-site for families, teachers, and community members to enjoy.
