Oh Go Fund a Playground...

Oh why don't you just go fund a playground already! No really, GoFundMe a playground! Our school is small in size, but giant in heart and spirit. We are growing! Our Kindergarten program begins next fall! We are super excited to see this little school grow into a marvelous school. Yet what is that one thing that drives kids to our door? Well I can honestly say it's not our playground! I'd like to think that it's the family-like atmosphere along with the small classroom sizes. I'm sure it may also have to do with God being our focus in our education. Yet again, it's not our playground!!!

Here's what I mean. Our small playground services it's purpose. We've got swings. Slides. Even a nice basketball court. But that's not really what our children need. They need a safe and fun playground! We need a playground that we can be proud of. Our playground also encourages the community to come and check out not only our school, but our church as well.

So here is my plea. It seems that nowadays, everyone is creating a GoFundMe account. I've seen it from "Pay my Tutition" to "Free Tom Brady." However, this GoFundMe that I'm about to introduce has a special meaning. This is for the kids of Forestdale Christian School. We are about half way towards raising money for a new playground, but we need help. It has taken years and years to raise funds. But now YOU can help. You're not simply "donating money to Forestdale." You are helping make recess and PE a better and more fun experience for children. You are providing a church with a community outreach. You are providing the next generation with memories.

So please, go and look at the site. I urge you to think about the young kids who will be coming to Forestdale. Give them the fun memories that you have of your own playground days.
