Edwina Soto, PE coach at Wiederstein Elementary School, received a surprise visit from representatives from Firstmark Credit Union earlier today. She was awarded a $1,000 grant from the financial institution to help purchase a new playground parachute for students.
Playground parachutes are used to develop physical skills like hand-eye coordination, balance and mobility, using rhythm and music. Other benefits from playground parachutes include strengthened muscles and teamwork skills, such as social interaction and communication.
Congratulations Ms. Soto, and thank you Firstmark Credit Union!
