Spring
I can't believe we're wearing shorts and sandals to school in the middle of March...
The green grass and sunshine make doing yard duty a joy not a chore. The thing about spring though is that it is even more glaring that we don't have a playground to play on. The kids are wonderful about filling their recesses with skipping, soccer, foot hockey and the usual playground games, but they are definitely missing the playground to climb on.
This is a playground that is not just about our school, but about our neighbourhood. There isn't a park in the whole south east quadrant of the town. This school yard is used by the North Perth Parks and Rec. department, Listowel soccer club and many community groups on a regular basis.
We are just shy of $30 000 in our fundraising efforts with the Kinsmen and several businesses in town promising to make donations in the near future, so that number will rise soon.
Please consider supporting the playground by buying a subscription to the Listowel Banner (see post below) or by making a donation to the playground. Forms are available at the school, or you can donate online at CanadaHelps.org (indicate Listowel Eastdale campaign in "fund/designation."
Thanks for your support!
Happy Spring

Playground Update
So as of today we are just under $27 000 dollars raised for the playground.
Here's what the School Council has been working on for this campaign:
Most recently Cowan's Country store ran a great promotion over Christmas by offering eco-friendly gift wrapping with donations going to the playground.
The Listowel Independent sent 6000 flyers with the paper to homes in Listowel. I have been so impressed with the donations that have come from this effort -- it is very rewarding to see how many people in our town feel a connection to Eastdale and have made donations to support us.
The Listowel Banner is going to help us with a campaign in February -- it will be "unveiled" soon!
School Council members made presentations to the Town of North Perth requesting financial assistance as so many North Perth Parks and Rec programs that use our school would benefit from the playground. This request was recently turned down.
School Council also made a presentation to the Listowel Kinsmen, and we are keeping our fingers crossed on this one!
We recently received a grant from the Carnegie Family Fund through the Stratford Perth County Community Foundation.
We've applied for another grant, and are working on the forms for another.
The chair of the fundraising committee has been busy soliciting businesses for their donations.
Our students have also been regularly visiting my office with ideas for fundraising. The recent Gr. 4/5 Pie in the Face contest raised $400 and saw Ms. Martin wear a pie!
This playground will come, and it will be an awesome addition to the school and neighbourhood!
If you are interested in donating, or if you have ideas to support the campaign, please call the school. Donations are tax deductible through the Foundation for Enriching Education.
