It's here!

The Preschool playground set finally arrived today, a two-month early Christmas present! It was mandated by the Ministry of Education but is a gift from St. Joseph’s Parish School in Queens, New York and the Canadian Volunteers in Mission program.

When the truck pulled up we corralled parents bringing their children, and neighbours, 6 or 7 all told, and they wrestled the thing into position on the church grounds, barely squeezing it though the gates.

Another parent has offered to assemble it tomorrow. It has a slide, two swings, a pair of rings and a trapeze bar. Teacher Betty was here long enough to see it arrive but leaves today for her 3-week exchange in Virginia. The children have the next four days off so everything should be in place when they arrive back on Monday.
