Imagine Southeast gets its own Playground with the help of First Lady Michelle Obama and national non-profit KaBOOM!
On June 15, 2011 First Lady Michelle Obama, members of Congress, US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and hundreds of local volunteers gathered at Imagine Southeast PCS to build the school’s first playground. The project was a partnership with KaBOOM!, an organization dedicated to the preservation of outdoor play. Several months of planning, financial support from the Knight Foundation and over 34 hours of physical labor resulted in a beautiful, kid-approved playground for the children of Imagine Southeast Public Charter School.
