Danbury elementary school raising funds for accessible playground

Pembroke Elementary School has a fundraising goal of $150,000 to build a playground with equipment that will be more accessible for children with special needs or physical disabilities.  To date they've raised more than $65,000.  Massachusetts-based playground firm Childscapes will incorporate ramps, Americans with Disabilities Act compliant swings and a “sensory garden” for special needs students.  Danbury's legislative delegation will be asking the State Bond Commission to chip in when the group meets next month.  The Newstimes reports that Danbury Public Works could use its equipment and staff to help clear the school’s playground, prepare the site and fix some drainage issues.  About a quarter of Pembroke's students have special needs.
