Southside Preparatory Magnet Academy’s inaugural year began 2018 completed. Because we were established in an existing building that was built in the 1950’s, there was dire need for everything, including playground design and equipment. With the funds we received from ALA-TOM, we were able to purchase a basketball system, ethafoam target, flag football set, and other items like balls and frisbees. The students were excited to engage in fun physical activities each day, both in and outdoors because of the grant.
