Over 15 Years Old and Wearing Out Fast—Our Playground Can’t Wait
Did you know our students use the playground an average of 235 minutes each week—almost 4 hours of playtime during the school week? Our current playground is over 15 years old, and it’s time to build one that will grow with our students for the next 20 years.
This October, we are asking every family to take part in our Playground Campaign Push. Whether through a family donation, inviting grandparents to give, or asking your workplace to match contributions—every gift makes a difference.
See the design of our new playground and donate today by scanning the QR code below.
Just $200 per student would raise $120,000 for the new playground!

If you would prefer to contribute a cash donation that will go towards purchasing items for the dinner (e.g. proteins), you send an e-transfer** to [email protected], please include “October 9 staff appreciation dinner” in the message of your e-transfer.
**Note: These funds will be used for the dinner and any surplus funds will be saved/allocated to the next staff appreciation dinner.
