Beechwood Elementary School students walk Monday in a walkathon fundraiser to get money for improvements to the playground. The students began their efforts March 9 and raised $15,000 for the project that will include new barriers, dirt work and playground equipment. Based on the theme Bee Fit, the walk was the first fundraiser in several years, said PTA board member Andrea Taylor. The school on Mississippi 27 has about 550 students.
