Deer Creek Receives TSET Grant of $76,348.53 for Playground Improvements

Deer Creek School District will be awarded a TSET Healthy Incentive Grant of $76,348.53 from the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET). The grant will pay for playground improvements at Spring Creek, Rose Union, Prairie Vale, Grove Valley and Deer Creek Elementaries.

TSET Healthy Incentive Grants fund projects and equipment that promote wellness, improve access to physical activity and encourage tobacco-free living.

The program rewards schools and school districts that adopt policies that promote healthy living.

"We are honored to receive this grant from TSET," said Dr. Jason Perez, Superintendent. "These funds will allow us to add improvements to our playgrounds, providing lasting benefits for our students and staff while supporting a healthier community."

TSET Healthy Incentive Grants empower schools to make meaningful, sustainable changes that encourage healthier lifestyles. Since the program began in 2013, schools across Oklahoma have used these grants to fund a variety of projects that improve well-being and academic success.
