The Playground Committee continues to be hard at work to bring much needed enhancements to our playground! Many initial steps have been taken behind the scenes to make this happen.
We have various fundraisers during the year. If you prefer to not participate in the different fundraisers, there is the option of just making a donation to the playground instead.
The total estimated cost of the playground is over $150,000.00! To date we have raised enough money through fundraising and grants to complete Phase 1. Phase 1 consisted of an outdoor classroom, berms and some tree planting. We are looking forward to completing Phase 2, which consists of the gaga ball pit as well as some new climbing equipment. Stay tuned to see what pops up during the summer. We are also looking forward to the return of our play structure!
A reminder that participation in fundraisers is always optional and there is no requirement to participate in any PAC fundraisers. There may not be anything that works for your family and that is okay! We are a community school and any funds raised will benefit all students.

In the event that you do not need anything the fundraisers offer, but would still like to make a donation to support the school you can do so through the Children's Heritage Education Endowment Fund by following this link Donations to Children's Heritage Education Endowment Fund.
