‘There’s time when you need to play’

Students from Vanessa Spivak’s, Kristi Lustica’s and Kristine Reynolds’ classes had some bonus recess time on Oct. 4 when State Sen. William J. Larkin Jr. visited Pine Tree Elementary to dedicate the school’s new playground. Funding for the playground came from a $33,333 state grant Larkin secured, plus $6,000 raised by the PTA. “There’s time when you need to play,” said Larkin. “You have to have memories.” The story of the dedication, plus additional photos can be found online at thephoto-news.com.
