Elwood Elementary in Deer Lake will use the money for an outdoor play kitchen with sensory-friendly design. St. Michael’s Elementary in Stephenville Crossing plans on offering students a creative space to learn skills like sewing, knitting, and beading. Each school will receive $1,000 to support their projects.
