On Thursday, September 20th a new playground is coming to Chesnut Charter Elementary and volunteers are needed from the community to assist in the construction.
Kaboom is a national non-profit organization that was created in 1995 to bring together volunteers, community organizations and business resources to facilitate safe, healthy and much needed play spaces across North America. Working with their funding & build partner Home Depot, Chesnut volunteers are going to build a new playground in ONE day!
Here's what has been happening with KABOOM! so far...
In July 2007, KABOOM! reps contacted Chesnut PTA Leadership
In August, the design team developed three designs which were then refined to come up Chesnut's next Great playground.
September 20th is BUILD DAY.
Home Depot will be bringing 150 volunteers. Kaboom! provides experienced builders.
Chesnut needs to provide 100 people to make the playground a reality.
No special skills are required. Please think about joining the fun starting at 8 am.
When you volunteer, on build day you get: Free Breakfast, Work Gloves, a commemorative t-shirt, Water/water/water, Lunch, Music playing all day, First Aid available if needed, Raffle Drawings for prizes, Fun/fun/fun and a great deal of satisfaction.
Please let the school know if you are available at Chesnutcharter@yahoo.com
A special thank you goes out to KABOOM!, Home Depot & Outback Steakhouse
