Operation Playground
 

Our goal is to give our 4th and 5th grade students at the Middle School a playground. We need to purchase a playground system or additional components that can accommodate 60 children at a time. The PTO currently has $2,000 allocated towards the playground. We are expecting that the playground can cost us up to $30,000 plus installation. Most of this money will have to be raised through cash donations, we simply do not have the manpower to host frequent $200 fundraisers. We are planning an extensive mail campaign soliciting donations from area corporations and families. This will not be an easy task and we need your support.

Today, we need some volunteers for two things: 1) provide input on the game plan/solution and 2) people who have some time to research corporation addresses.

If you would like to be part of Operation Playground please contact Carolyn Reynolds at hanscomplayground@gmail.com

Thank you for your support.
