On a crisp fall morning, the Willowbrook Playground Dedication brought smiles despite the chill, and the students couldn’t have been more excited! Principal Panosh led the celebration, expressing heartfelt thanks to those who made this project a reality: Polk County Supervisor Steve Van Oort, Community Grant Administrator Lisa Mood-Tunks, Prairie Meadows, the Southeast Polk School Board, SEP Leadership, SEP Education Foundation, and the Willowbrook PTA. Their collective efforts have brought the new playground to life.

With construction nearly complete, the students are eager to explore the colorful new equipment. The entire student body gathered for the event, making it a joyful occasion for all.

A big thank you to everyone who contributed to this wonderful playground upgrade!
