Kiwanis Club of Front Royal raised over $5000 for E Wilson Morrison Elementary School.

A portion of the gift is possible thanks to the Capital District Kiwanis Foundation who provided $2500 of that money via grant.

The local Kiwanis chapter raised the remaining funds.

The funds were put towards redoing the blacktop playground at the elementary school which has already been finished.

John Lake Paving Co Inc. was responsible for completing the project.

A ceremony to present the check for the total amount will be held Monday at 2 pm at E. Wilson Morrison.
