Volunteers recently installed new play equipment at the Chisago Lakes Primary School, in the northeast corner of the school grounds. The money for this was raised through donations and fundraisers, including a $5,000 donation from First State Bank of Wyoming, a $200 Chisago City Fire Dept. contribution, Kurt Bluhm of Bluhm Construction and Peterson Companies (Curt Peterson) provided free manpower and some materials, Prefer Ready Mix (Jamie Amundson) provided concrete, Chisago Lakes Rotary donated a bench, Primary School teachers and Principal Brenda Schell helped in planning and doing events to help raise money and Amy Ralidak coordinated the project. Themescapes (Ole Nasvik) supervised the installation and coordinated the assembly, that was accomplished in one day. The group also thanks all the parents and residents who attended a fundraiser or bought T-shirts and sweatshirts, providing $7,000 in proceeds for the equipment, and thanks to all those who dropped some loose change into the many collections jars in the community.
