Turf

In 2019, the ESE Foundation funded the installation of a turf field and the renovation of the surrounding area. East Side students are now able to play outside right after it rains in a safe and healthy environment. The CDC reports that benefits of physical activity in children include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Improving their memory, attention, and concentration.

• Helping them stay on-task in the classroom.

• Reducing disruptive behavior in the classroom.

• Improving their social and emotional development (e.g., learning how to share and negotiate).

Your donations and generous support from Wellstar and Apollo MD made this amazing project possible!
