SAIL-Math (Robie Park Expansion Project)

This year, the 8th-grade students in the SAIL-math program will be focusing on community-based projects, providing them with valuable learning opportunities. They met with Cindy Hazelton, Director of the Gorham Parks and Recreation Department, and learned about the expansion plan for Robie Park. The students have been tasked with designing and researching various play structures for the new playground, a project that will enhance their problem-solving and creative skills. They learned that so much planning needs to go into a new playground to ensure it's easily accessible for everyone. Their design plans will be shared with the Gorham Parks and Recreation Department, and if approved, they will take on fundraising initiatives to purchase some of the equipment for the new playground.
