Bank of Canton donates $10K to Hansen playground

Bank of Canton has donated $10,000 to the Lt. Peter M. Hansen Elementary School to complete its new playground.

“We are thrilled to have the support of the Bank of Canton with its $10,000 donation,” said Hansen Principal Peter Boucher. “The bank has become a wonderful community partner in education. This donation allowed us to officially finish the project and finalize construction. Every student on Team Hansen will now be able to have specific outdoor adventure play, thanks to the efforts of the Bank of Canton.”

As the enrollment at the school has grown to nearly 500 students, the playground area became too small to accommodate all of them. The school community came together under “Team Hansen” to raise funds for a new playground and outdoor classroom over the past eight months.

Stephen P. Costello, president of Bank of Canton, said, “It is our pleasure to support the Hansen Elementary School and all the volunteers on ‘Team Hansen’ in completing this beautiful new playground. By making a positive impact on the lives of our children, Bank of Canton is helping to build a stronger community.”
