RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16 AT 9:00 am “CPN community is invited to a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the enterprising 3rd graders from Timber Trail Elementary, who advocated for new playground equipment at Coyote Ridge Park that will better engage children with Autism. The students conducted research and presented their case and findings to members and staff of CPNMD and the Parks Authority in October. The two organizations donated money and time to purchase and install the equipment. TTEA also contributed funds.” CPNMD will provide donuts and coffee. More more information on this project, check out this article from the November edition of The Connection: http://newspaper.castlepinesconnection.com/2017/nov/index.html#p=44
