We have an exciting update regarding adding some new playground equipment to the school. We have received approval from the school on the selected equipment, and will now start forming a committee to make plans for fundraising. We need between $30,000 - $45,000 depending on installation costs (company supplied vs local company).

Please scan the QR code using What's App to join the group so we can begin planning how to get going. If you are unable to scan the code, please send Joyce a message through What's App at 639-999-5338. We are excited to add this to the school for the students and community members to enjoy!
