Pike Road Elementary

Creating Connection Through Play and Communication at PRES 🔵🔴⚪️ Today at Pike Road Elementary, we celebrated a milestone that goes far beyond new equipment. Our students, staff, and community came together to unveil our new Inclusive Playground Communication Boards and Accessible Swing — tools designed to make sure every child, verbal or nonspeaking, with or without disabilities, has the opportunity to play, connect, and communicate with their peers. This project is about more than accessibility — it’s about belonging. When we give students a way to share their thoughts, wants, and feelings — whether with words, symbols, or a device — we’re not just building playgrounds, we’re building understanding and inclusion. Because here in Pike Road, every child has a voice — and every voice deserves to be heard. 💙 #AACAwarenessMonth #InclusionInAction #EveryVoiceMatters #PikeRoadElementary #InclusivePlayground #AccessibilityForAll

Today, Pike Road Elementary School unveiled new communication boards at each of its playgrounds, along with a new inclusive swing!

These additions were made possible through the Guardian Teach for Tomorrow Grants, helping create play spaces where every child can connect, communicate, and belong.

The communication boards are especially meaningful because not every learner is verbal, so they give our nonverbal friends a way to share what they want to do, how they feel, or what they need.

It’s another beautiful step toward making sure every Patriot has a voice and a safe place to play.
