Atlanta’s J.W. Dobbs Elementary School is about to get its first playground in more than 10 years. Officials with Atlanta Public Schools, the South Metro Scholastic Fund and the Humana Foundation are joining organizers from KaBOOM!, a national non-profit organization that has built more than 2,300 playgrounds, at the school on Friday. They are meeting to kick off design plans for the playground/community garden, with input from children at 10 a.m. and adults at 11 a.m.. Nov. 9 has been set aside as the actual build day for the playground.
