KW Kiwanis and Waterloo North Kiwanis Join forces for Playground

Rockway Public School received $22,000 from two Kiwanis Clubs to complete their new playground project.  Both clubs were approached by Principal Paul Grossman when it was obvious that the Parent's Council would be unable to provide enough funds for the remaining 2 phases of the new playground.  Kiwanians decided to support this worthwhile project, and presented the cheque to Rockway School on April 18th.
