🎉 S. Ray Lowder Elementary School awarded $110,000 grant from Timken Foundation for a new inclusive playground! 🎉
We are thrilled to announce that S. Ray Lowder Elementary School in Lincolnton, NC, has received a generous $110,000 grant from the Timken Foundation to bring to life a long‑awaited dream—an inclusive playground designed for students of all abilities.
Why this matters
This incredible gift will help build a modern, thoughtfully designed play space where every Lion can:
Navigate and explore safely regardless of mobility or sensory needs
Engage in cooperative play and social interaction with peers
Experience joy, confidence, and inclusivity during recess and outdoor learning
More than just a playground
In addition to the inclusive play structures, the space will feature a new blacktop area with basketball and pickleball courts—offering even more ways for students to stay active, build teamwork, and have fun.
A community victory
This grant underscores the importance of partnerships—between families, educators, neighbors, and organizations like Timken—in creating environments where all students feel seen, valued, and supported in their growth and play.
What’s next?
The school will soon reveal design plans and timelines for construction. We can expect:
A playground space with accessible surfacing, ramps, and sensory-rich play structures
New blacktop courts for basketball and pickleball
A dedication or ribbon-cutting event to celebrate with families and community partners
Join us in celebration!
Let’s congratulate everyone involved—teachers, staff, students, parent representatives, and the Timken Foundation—for making this vision a reality. This inclusive playground promises not only laughter and fun for our students but also a message of belonging that resonates through our whole community.
Here’s to a brighter, more inclusive recess for all our Lions! 🦁🏀🎾
