Playground Renewal Project
At this year’s Elmwood Gala, the Elmwood community "raised their paddles" in support of the Playground Renewal Project, where the school’s old play structure will be replaced with a new best-in-class playground.
If you have not yet had a chance to contribute, you can still help us achieve our goal! Add your support to one of the components of the student-chosen play structure using the form below.
Donations are tax receiptable, and a plaque recognizing the generosity of our community will appear alongside the new playground.
Why are playgrounds so important?
Playgrounds provide the opportunity for children to practice skills that will ultimately develop into competencies that will serve them throughout their growth and beyond.
Playgrounds help develop the following key competencies:
- Collaboration and Cooperation;
- Decision and Problem-Solving;
- Communication and Social Interaction;
- Gross Motor Skills and Strength;
- Leadership; and
- Creativity.
Students from Grades 1 through 8 voted on two play structure designs to replace the old play structure.
The Nu Edge Senior Structure below was the overwhelming winner - taking play to new heights at Elmwood!
