Possible Playground Design

Here are two pictures of the possible playground design for our new playground. It does not include the fitness equipment, just the play structures.

Penny Drive

Dear Cape John Collegiate and Hillside Elementary Families, Students & Staff:

La Scie Playground Committee Needs Your Pennies!!!

Hillside Elementary Staff and Students are challenging Cape John Collegiate Staff and Students to  Penny Drive! A large water bottle (or as many as needed) will be placed at the office of both schools where you can drop your pennies off. We'll do the rolling!!

Have pennies lying around? In your pockets? In your glove compartment? Underneath your sofa cushions? Start collecting your pennies to help us raise money to build our playground that the students chose. Remember, donating pennies turns cents into dollars!

We believe in the power of "change." Any "change" you wish to send along will be graciously accepted, pennies or other. Let's get rolling and see which school collects the most pennies!

In addition, we send this challenge out to the general public to help us out with this endeavor. Any spare pennies or change you have would be greatly appreciated to help us reach our goal and get our playground built.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,
La Scie Playground Committee

1st Build of 2012 for LTBK

Tonight is probably a night of little sleep for the folks of Providence Bay, Ontario as they anxiously await their Build Day tomorrow morning. How exciting for them, and for us to be able to watch it unfold. Thank God for technology. We would like to say congratulations to the Providence Bay committee and wish them a wonderful day building their dream. I just saw that we are down to 49 days,8 hours,26 minutes and counting and I am very excited and nervous at the same time.I really hope that we can build the playground and fitness park that the students of Hillside and Cape John Collegiate chose.We started a Penny Drive today, challenging the High school students to a race to fill up a water container with pennies. We hope that Hillside will cross the finish line first but CJC is up to the challenge. We believe in the power of "change!" We are rolling right along with our fundraising efforts. Currently we are selling tickets on an hand-stitched quilt made and donated by Dororthy Foster, a wonderful friend of the Playground Project. The ticket draw will be just in time for Mother's Day.If you are interested in purchasing a ticket, please contact either one of the committee members. As always, we thank you in advance for your continued support. Don't forget to check out Providence Bay Build Day tomorrow by going to www.ltbk.ca.

How many days?

One third of the way there with just 52 days to go. WHAT? Yes, that's right, just 52 more days until BUILD DAY and we can't wait. We will be providing a list of things that will be needed to make this day a success in the very near future. If you haven't already signed up to volunteer for Build Day,please do. We can't do this without you and it's going to be so much fun.We hope to see you there.

Recent Fundraisers Great Success

The Playground Project Committee would like to say thank you to everyone who came out and supported us during our recent fundraisers. At the Atom Hockey Easter tournament, we raised $725 by providing a yummy breakfast of bologna and pancakes with tea, coffee and juice. Our "Old Fashion Time" provided us with another $1320. A gigantic thank you to all who attended these events and donated food or time. Without your continued support, this would not be possible.

Easter Basket a Great Success

Congratulations to Mr. Marc Toms who won our Easter basket valued at $150. We raised $1374. We would like to thank everyone who purchased tickets and everyone who sold them.
Next week we will be serving breakfast at the Stadium on Friday and Saturday morning starting at 8 AM during the Easter tournament. There will be pancakes and balogna and juice. Tea and coffee will also be served.
We will also be having a Penny Drive after Easter Break. If you have any "pennies for play" please send them along to the school.
Again, thank you for your continued support.
