Troutman Elementary School

Troutman Elementary School has
received a wonderful gift from a grateful
parent. A beautiful stone patio has been built
in the courtyard at Troutman Elementary by
Mr. Ariel Salgado.

Mr. Salgado, a parent of four
children, one of whom attends Troutman
Elementary, wanted to create something that
would “be here when I am no longer here.
Children will still be playing in this space
when I am gone.” This beautiful courtyard
creation will, according to Mrs. Kim
Cressman, Principal, “be host to children
eating lunch outside, sitting and reading, playing…it’s an incredible addition to our school.”

Mr. Salgado, owner of Salgado Landscaping, provided the materials and labor to create this
outdoor space. He intends to add the walkways to the patio later, as he continues to improve the
existing courtyard area.

A generous gift from a caring parent. Mr. Ariel Salgado has left his handprint on the hearts
of all staff and students at Troutman Elementary School.
