APSO Gifts Of Play-Based Equipment Increase Learning For Westside Elementary Kindergartners

By Donna Cope

Christmas morning came four months early for kindergarten teachers at Westside Elementary School in Demopolis.

Neither visions of sugar plums, splashy sports cars nor trips to exotic locales were included: Instead, their dream was of 10 sets of play-based educational equipment, one for each kindergarten class at the school. Members of the Western Division Chapter of the Alabama Power Service Organization (APSO) donated the educational kits in August.

“When APSO gave us the equipment, our teachers were so excited,” said Westside Elementary School Principal Roshanda Jackson. “This was something they really wanted, and they were passionate about having these materials in the classroom. It was wonderful seeing them plan how to implement these sets.” Jackson said the play-based stations combine dramatic play to help children learn.
