Why Shade Matters for Our Playground

Outdoor play is a vital part of a child’s growth—physically, socially, and emotionally. At our Academy, the playground is a place of laughter, learning, and movement. However, during warmer months, the lack of shade limits how long children can safely enjoy that space.

Excessive sun exposure can lead to overheating, sunburn, and shortened outdoor time. By adding permanent shade structures over the playground, we can create a safer, cooler environment that allows children to play comfortably while protecting their health.

How the Spaghetti Fundraiser Helps 🍝

To make this project possible, we’re hosting a Spaghetti Fundraiser, with all proceeds going directly toward the installation of playground shade. Every plate served helps move us closer to providing a more welcoming and child-friendly outdoor space.

This fundraiser isn’t just about a meal—it’s about investing in our children’s daily experience. Your support helps ensure:

• Safer outdoor play during warm weather

• Longer, more enjoyable recess and activity time

• A healthier environment for learning and growth

Whether you attend the fundraiser, donate, or help spread the word, you’re making a lasting difference for our Academy and the children we serve.

Thank you for helping us turn a plate of spaghetti into a place of shade, safety, and joy. 🌤️👧
