You have probably heard that we have been warned the playground equipment is on it's last legs. Usually the life span is 15 years, and we are just past that, I believe. Our fundraising goal is $85000. I know, that sounds like a huge amount of money. Our school council did quite a bit of research to come up with that number. When you consider excavation of the site, base and then the equipment itself, it sure doesn't take long to add up! We also wanted to be sure to include elements in our design that appeal to all ages, so there will essentially be two parts. I'm sure all the kids will play on both, but we've got sections geared more for our smaller children and some neat movement and taller items for the "big" kids.
We've been busy applying for grants; we'll be approaching the Town, and service clubs for assistance, as well as soliciting individual donations.
Our Fun Fair got us started. The next School Council event is the Spaghetti Supper. It will be at Diana Sweets on Wednesday, November 10 from 5-8pm. The cost is simply by donation at the door. Members of the Jr. B. Cylcones will be serving. We're hold a bake sale at the same time, so we welcome any baking you can donate (nut free, please). Bring your friends!
Join us on November 10. See you there. I'll be the one in the apron with sauce slopped on my collar!
