The Bolles Lower School Ponte Vedra Beach Campus community gathered Jan. 10 to celebrate the opening of the Turner Family Playground.
The playground features new slides, swings, a tricycle track and more — all now shaded under a large blue canopy to protect students from the sun. The space also includes a mini turf football field, complete with the school’s athletic logo in the middle and custom endzones.
The Bulldogs gathered in George Hall to hear more about the project from Bolles Head of Lower School Ponte Vedra Beach Campus Stacey Hendershot and Bolles President and Head of School Tyler Hodges before heading over to the new playground, located on the east side of campus. Varsity cheerleaders also joined the fun, dancing with the lower school students and helping them celebrate.
The students surrounded the playground’s perimeter and watched excitedly as Champ cut the ceremonial ribbon alongside Hendershot and Hodges. Then, they capped off the event by taking an all-campus group picture and blowing bubbles before handing it over to the pre-K and kindergartners, who got first dibs on breaking in the new equipment.
