BRISTOL ― Franklin Savings Bank recently granted $10,000 to Bristol Elementary School PTO to support the replacement of the existing playground. This replacement will provide students with a safe, modern, and engaging play space.

A new playground will provide a modern, inclusive, and stimulating environment that supports physical activity, social development, and imaginative play. Beyond the school day, it will also serve as a vibrant community hub, giving families and children across the area a safe, welcoming place to gather, connect, and grow together. This project represents a vital investment in both education and community well-being.

"We’re so grateful to FSB for their generous support — it’s bringing us closer to making our inclusive playground a reality,” said Deanna Fortier, Bristol Elementary School PTO. “This funding means so much to our school community, and we’re excited to create a space where every child feels safe, welcome, and free to be themselves."

“Investing in the Bristol community means investing in the well-being of its families,” said Brian Bozak, president and CEO of Franklin Savings Bank. “We’re proud to support the development of the new playground — creating a safe, welcoming space where children can play, explore, and build lifelong memories.”
