A John Stanford International School parent sent along this urgent plea for funds to upgrade the playground, an amenity that is available to the whole community, not just the school.

If we don’t raise the money before July 1st we miss our window and a majority of the project will be delayed another year!
The funds will go to replacing an area of dirt and bushes with this netted climber:
