    Shade Cover for playground
    • The EMCID grant Application is being filled out to help with the shade structure for the playground. This grant will only cover $5000 of the expense of the shade structure. The following are bids for different sizes. This may be something that we will have to have multiple fundraisers for.

    • 20’x20’x12’: $13,495.00

    • Per Kevin we need to contact Jennifer Green or who took over for her if she is no longer doing it to see if EMC can help pay for the whole thing.
    • Another option for the EMCID grant is the vending machine in the teacher lounge.
