An area superintendent is honored for his work with a non-profit to get accessible playgrounds in the school district.
The press release below is from the Reeds Spring School District:
The Reeds Spring School District proudly announces the induction of Superintendent Dr. Cody Hirschi as the inaugural member of the Unlimited Play Playgrounds Hall of Fame. Unlimited Play is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating fully accessible playgrounds for all children. The Reeds Spring School District is working with Unlimited Play to install six playgrounds on campus.
Unlimited Play’s founder, Natalie Mackay, said Dr. Hirschi was an obvious choice for this honor.
"Since first working with him (Hirschi), I’ve seen firsthand how he understands and exemplifies the true meaning of building communities. Dr. Hirschi’s tireless efforts to ensure all children are seen, heard, and valued align perfectly with what we stand for at Unlimited Play."
Dr. Hirschi humbly accepted the honor, emphasizing that it reflects the collective dedication of the entire Reeds Spring community.
“Building these playgrounds is a group effort,” Hirschi said. “Play is a critical part of the physical, emotional, and social development for every child, and at Reeds Spring Schools, we believe everyone deserves equal access to quality learning experiences.”
