How your Support Makes a Difference
Every child in our community deserves a fair and equitable chance for play opportunities as their peers in more affluent school districts and communities. When we provide fair and equitable opportunities for all children, it not only benefits the children, but our entire community. Improving health outcomes, teaching sustainability, and increasing social emotional competence in our children have long term effects. Communities that successfully address inequities by leveling the playing field have proven to be more prosperous and stable than those that have not.
