The Laurel School promotes children's activities in school
and outdoors that engage the whole body and mind to encourage
social growth, help establish life-long healthy habits, a
sense of self, and a passion for learning. Evident throughout
our school, these values are intrinsic to our culture and
maintained in our environment. We are fortunate to own a beautiful
facility with spacious land and playgrounds. At this point
in our growth, we are designing a new plan for our outside
environment. We need your help to build our "Field
of Dreams."
Our current playing fields used by the entire school and
summer campers for gross motor and cooperative play have endured
for 28 years. After years of fun and games, the surface has
become hard, packed clay making grass impossible to grow.
Our goal is to redesign the area to allow for multiple use
and environmental stewardship. In line with our mission, we
want a green space for our children and children in our community.
The area will have a blend of soft and hard surfaces, sun
and shade spots, raised flower and vegetable beds around the
perimeter, park benches, and delineated play spaces. This
project is focused on a redesign of our open land area, not
replacing our current playground structures or playground
surfaces.
Our goal is to raise $40,000.00 (forty thousand dollars)
between September 1st and December 15th of 2009. We anticipate
our "Field of Dreams" will be complete by spring
2010. There are several ways to donate and all donations are
tax-deductible. Thank you for helping us build our field of
dreams and we appreciate your support:
