Replace the "Gracefully Aged" Playground at our Elementary SchoolSt. Bernadette School

Our project began simply with the goal of "repainting" our existing play structure.  However, this was not as simple as it seemed. Since our current structure was constructed prior to 1995 and no longer meets up to current safety standards repainting it is pointless.  The average lifespan of a playground is 15 to 18 years and even though ours has aged "gracefully" it is now time to retire it.  As a result we are left having to replace our entire structure.  Therefore, our goal is now to raise the $200,000 needed to construct a new structure through various fundraising efforts.  We desire to give our students a safe, fun place to play that will meet up to current safety standards.  We would like to show our students and the surrounding communities that we care about them and about our school by installing a new structure for everyone to use.
