The Play 4 All Altus Action Team and Altus Public Schools are joining forces to raise funds for The Reimagine Project. The project’s main goal is aimed at raising money to rebuild and reimagine the current, out-dated Imagination Station and replace it with an all new state-of-the-art, completely ADA-accessible inclusive space for everyone!
