Duluth middle school needs help purchasing picnic tables

Parents at Coleman Middle School in Duluth have launched a school fundraiser to help provide outdoor picnic tables for students to use during their lunch periods when schools reopen to in-class instruction.

Currently, the school has a few tables, but not enough for a full classroom to safely enjoy their lunch. The PTA has set up a page to accept donations to purchase tables. For digital families the tables will remain at the school post-pandemic for all to enjoy. Staff and teachers will be able to use the picnic tables for outdoor learning, brain breaks, as well as continued outdoor dining.
