Southdale Playground Addition - Cooper Lins Memorial Project

11/29/2023

Yesterday marked one year since our dedication of Cooper's Memorial Playground at Southdale Elementary-Cedar Falls 💚

This bright green playground would not have been possible without the unbelievable generosity from our family, friends and community! Every playground partner who donated $500+ is represented on the banner hanging in Southdale today...a huge thank you to Lindsey Behrends for so graciously putting that together for us!

Honoring Cooper in this way would not have been possible without our Southdale village championing us! A million tearful thank you's to staff, Principal Mr. Jason Strub and Southdale Elementary IMPACT PTO 💚🍀

Thank you Southdale Elementary-Cedar Falls for honoring Cooper this Monday with day 💚

On Monday, February 27, Southdale is going to wear green to honor our friend Cooper who died a year ago. He loved the color green, animals, and Pokémon, just like many of our students! Wear green on Monday to honor our friend and as a reminder to Be a Cooper, each and every day! Southdale Elementary-Cedar Falls Cedar Falls Community School District

The green playground was a tribute to Cooper Lins, the family's 'St. Patty’s Day baby' who died earlier this year from a blood infection.

By the end of this week the playground equipment and tiles will be fully installed! We will be holding a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Monday (November 28th) as we open Cooper's Memorial Playground! If you have been a part of this project in any way, big or small, we would love for you to be there. While Monday is the opening of the playground, we will still be hosting a large dedication celebration in the Spring when the sponsor benches, bricks, and signs are all here and installed. It will be a community event you won’t want to miss. We hope to see you Monday for the ribbon cutting!
