The sole fundraising focus of Carnival is by way of our outstanding raffle, in direct support of Phase I of the *new* playground at Morinville Public School. Currently the playgroulnd is missing approximately one third of its equipment, and with the population of the community booming, well that just won't do! Additionally the playground is difficult to supervise and provides little in the way of consideration of our many students with special needs. Phase I will focus on providing much needed space, long lasting, popular pieces (all the favourites: monkey bars, slides, poles, you name it!), and additional zones for children with sensory challenges ie. autism. Phase I is intended to act as the lynchpin for the additional upgrades we hope to see in the future. These would include upgraded equipment, more natural environments including greenspaces, spots for kids AND their families, and many opportunities for outdoor learning, including outdoor classrooms.
First, we need to get Ph I in the ground. A donation camapaign is live right now and we would love your support. Every toonie counts! You can also purchase tickets to the raffle or donate directly right at Carnival, June 14th. An ATM will be on site.
You can see the plans for PhI below:
