The eighth graders of Our Lady of Grace Catholic Academy are leaving behind a lasting legacy at their Brooklyn school by beautifying the playground, thanks to a $10,000 Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton grant, which provides assistance to Catholic elementary schools within the Diocese of Brooklyn.
The students added new elements to the space including sensory games like musical dance chimes, where children can jump on installed tiles to make a chiming sound.
Parents also pitched in by hiring a graffiti artist to paint a mural celebrating all of God’s creation at the playground.
