Valley View Principal and Plastics R Unique worked together to create an amazing outdoor classroom for the students and teachers at Valley View Elementary School in Wadsworth, Ohio. Outdoor classroom research is showing that children need and benefit from more time outdoors. They enhance and add hands on experiences, allows physical activity and multifaceted approaches to cognitive development that connect children to nature and maximize their learning outcome. Plastics R Unique was thrilled to donated several of the tables used for the outdoor classroom. A local landscaping company also helped with the landscaping of the area.

Our 4’ Deluxe Cedar and Black Bench paired with JTS Landscaping certificate was one of the highest performing auctions this last weekend at Breaking Bread on Bourbon Street Fundraiser for Feeding Medina County!

The opening of Holmesbrook Trail will be celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at noon on Oct. 1. The event will be hosted by the Friends of Wadsworth Trails and the city of Wadsworth. Wadsworth residents Melissa Petit, in pursuit of her Girl Scout Gold project, and Jacob Roden, pursuing his Eagle Scout project, worked together to develop the trail. It was extremely difficult to create the trail due to the terrain and topography, but Jacob did an excellent job in the trail installation, which now exists from the end of the paved trail at Holmesbrook through the woods to Wolfe Avenue. Melissa and Jacob also cleaned up and redefined the Roth Eagle Trail that leads from the end of the paved trail to Waverly Street. Melissa was able to obtain a donation of two benches from Plastics-R-Unique and was involved in the bench installation, as well as the acquisition and placement of plants around the benches. The city will add one more bench and signage to mark the trail more clearly.

I am asked to attend many ribbon-cuttings throughout the year, and recently, I attended one hosted by Eagle Scout Nathan Lockwood for a series of multi-purpose trails built by Troop 400.

The trails were built over the past two years in Friedt and Holmesbrook Parks and are connected by a bridge northwest of Holmesbrook pond. Nathan marked the trail heads with signs and placed a bench that was donated by Plastics-R-Unique. As a result of several Eagle Scout projects, all the trails built by the Boy Scouts in these parks are now linked together.

Additionally, other improvements were contributed by the Girl Scouts. The Boy Scouts worked with Assistant Service Director Harry Stark to coordinate support from the City of Wadsworth parks department, water department, street department, Steve Trzcinski and Mitch Reese for these Eagle Scout projects. Thanks to Nathan, Alex Mortensen, Dan Parke, Drake Withers and Adam Jackson of Boy Scout Troop 400 and all the scouts who have donated their time to our parks. Our trail system in Wadsworth is growing bigger and better!
