Franklin Savings Bank recently granted $10,000 to Bristol Elementary
School PTO to support the replacement of the existing playground. This replacement will provide
students with a safe, modern, and engaging play space.
A new playground will provide a modern, inclusive, and stimulating environment that supports physical
activity, social development, and imaginative play. Beyond the school day, it will also serve as a vibrant
community hub, giving families and children across the area a safe, welcoming place to gather, connect,
and grow together. This project represents a vital investment in both education and community wellbeing.
“We’re so grateful to FSB for their generous support—it’s bringing us closer to making our inclusive
playground a reality,” comments Deanna Fortier, Bristol Elementary School PTO. “This funding means so
much to our school community, and we’re excited to create a space where every child feels safe,
welcome, and free to be themselves.”
“Investing in the Bristol community means investing in the well-being of its families,” explains Brian
Bozak, President & CEO, Franklin Savings Bank. “We’re proud to support the development of the new
playground – creating a safe, welcoming space where children can play, explore, and build lifelong
memories.”
