Post Oak Central and Five Post Oak Park Donate Kindergarten Playground Equipment

Post Oak Central and Five Post Oak Park were honored Monday by their FACES of Change partner school, A. A. Milne Elementary for contributing new playground equipment and a beautiful butterfly garden.

Crescent's customers, employees and business partners at Post Oak Central and Five Post Oak Park donated more than $10,000 worth of playground equipment and materials to complete the project. Crescent's FACES of Change partnership also coordinated the installation of the butterfly garden at A.A. Milne. The butterfly garden was generously donated by Crescent landscape vendor, Sherrariums Plantscaping Company.

The entire school assembled for the dedication ceremony which included several short speeches by local community members and school district personnel Ted Freyer, Director, Property Management and A.A. Milne Principal Cheryl Thomas cut the official dedication ribbon.

Upon partnering with Crescent, A. A. Milne Principal Cheryl Thomas alerted Crescent to the school's need for improvements to the Kindergarten playground area, and Crescent's FACES of Change program swung into action. Principal Thomas remarked "The pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students are excited each day at recess. They are enjoying the new playground equipment, which is much safer for them to play on than the old equipment that we had."

A special thank-you to Lori Cortez and Linda Hirsch who coordinated the installation of the playground equipment and butterfly garden.
