Playground project gets major boost

District raising funds to replace playground at Stetsonville Elementary

Memorial Member Association contributes to Stetsonville Elementary School Playground Project Memorial Member Association (MMA) recently contributed $100,000 toward the Stetsonville Elementary School (SES) Playground Project.

The remodel of the SES outdoor physical fitness area will begin this upcoming summer. The inclusive and handicapaccessible playground will be available for student’s daily use for physical education classes and outdoor recess as well as be open to the community to utilize outside school hours. This playground is specifically designed for all ages and abilities of students in grades K-5, which will be unique for the school and local community.

The newly designed playground will provide an opportunity for healthy physical activity, positive mental health development, camaraderie and much more. Memorial Member Association is excited to support this project as it is a great investment in our children, families, schools and community.

Memorial Member Association was formed at the time of the unification of the Medford hospital and clinics with Aspirus in 2001. MMA represents the community’s 50% share in the health care organization. It is a separate and distinct entity from Aspirus Medford Hospital & Clinics and uses the proceeds received from Aspirus in the 2001 merger to fund healthy initiatives in our community.

MMA’s board of directors includes Candice Grunseth, Leonard Hamman, Randy Juedes, John Lange, Jason Steliga, Colton Freiberg, Bill Klingbeil, Beth Van der Berg, Emily Tracey, Sarah Hedtke, Courtney Graff and Dale Hustedt.
