"FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD"
IT’S ALL ABOUT CHILDREN!
This fall, Friends of Special Children and Signal Centers will partner with our community for the ABC Event to raise funds to install a 28 x 48’ open air PAVILION for the children at Signal Centers’ School. The Facility will also have a 14‘ x 40’ enclosed area for restrooms, mini kitchen and storage. Spending time outdoors is critical for the healthy development of children, and it has unique health benefits for children with special needs. Time spent in a natural environment not only teaches children to enjoy and appreciate elements of nature but also supports intellectual development, improves mood, reduces stress, restores depleted attention and boosts immune systems. The goal is to raise $195,000. Architects, landscape architects and outdoor educational planners will ensure the design will preserve and enhance the natural environment and the pavilion and structural components will be easily accessed by individuals of all abilities.
