When dropping Kiran off at school today, I learned that his elementary school is renovating their playground over the summer. But. They are not changing the surface – it will still be wood chips.

How aggravating that money will be spent to upgrade equipment but the bare minimum won’t be done to ensure all students have access to play on that equipment!

So this morning, two things:

1. I am working on forgiving myself for not having the capacity to have learned this information sooner, when I could have at least advocated and tried to make a difference. I am sure there was some sort of communication hidden somewhere, likely in a school board meeting agenda.
2. I am going to make it a priority next school year to attend as many school board meetings as I can – honoring my capacity as I finish up my last year of grad school – so I can stay involved and be in the know and advocate for Kiran more fully.
