On April 30 and May 1, more than a hundred members of the greater High Point Academy (HPA) community will spend the weekend working together to add to the school’s outdoor play area. Over the course of the two-day event, volunteers will build two playgrounds that will serve HPA’s 530 students and the local community. The playgrounds will feature a variety of play equipment, including swings, a play house, fitness stations, and modern versions of jungle gyms. Volunteers will also install several additions to the school’s current preschool playground.
