A large sunshade will be installed on the yellow and blue playground in a few weeks. Look for updates!
Thank you to our Gayton families, who raised thousands of dollars through Gator Giving to support the sunshade purchase and installation!
Thank you to Goldin Homes RVA and the Goldin-Parzow Family for their generous donation to support sunshade installation and maintenance!
Sun safety is always in season. Protecting your skin from sun damage throughout the year, no matter the weather, is essential.
Exposing your skin to the sun year-round means you are exposing it to ultraviolet radiation, which can cause sunburn, eye damage, and skin cancer, the most common form of cancer in the United States!
