The HLV PHT group recently purchased new Goalsetter basketball backboards for the HLV tennis court area. These are not only used for recess but for all ages in the evening. The new boards were installed to replace the boards that had been damaged. Thank you to Ruth Beran for the pick up and delivery of the new boards. Also thanks to Dale Pirkl, Dave Beran, Pat Blomme, Todd Achenbach, Rod Cooling, David Timm and Chase Hansen for the removal of the old backboards and the installation of the new ones. The PHT committee also recently painted on the new concrete pad at the elementary playground. This concrete replaced the pea gravel. The game 4-square and Mirror Me were recently added along with an agility/obstacle course. The HLV students are really enjoying these. Thanks to the PHT group for all they do for the kids!
