Twenty-four Medford Rogue Rotary members, friends, and family came together the weekend of October 9th to transform an outdoor space at Abraham Lincoln Elementary School into a colorful new sensory path! Over three days, volunteers prepped, stenciled, and painted a 60-by-20-foot area filled with hopscotch, animal walks, stepping stones, balance challenges, and other fun activities.

But this is more than just a fun playground addition! The sensory path is designed to help students take movement breaks, regulate their emotions, refocus, and return to learning. It’s also something all students can enjoy during recess.

A special metal Medford Rogue Rotary stencil was made to brand the path since community members use the playground area as well as students.

Sometimes making a difference means picking up a paintbrush, getting a little messy, and creating something that will bring joy to students for years to come.

We hope to take this service project “on the road” and provide paths at the remaining 14 elementary schools in the Medford School District.
