Hi! My name is Christy Campolattara-Dombrowski. I have been teaching at Charter School of the Dunes for six years now!

When I began my career here, our school consisted of many temporary trailers in a parking lot. These little trailers presented some issues, but they were our "home." Our school is located in Gary, Indiana.

Over the course of a few years, we received funding and construction began for a new facility. The following year, we moved into our beautiful, new building! The students love our new location, but, if you ask any student, they will tell you that here is one thing missing..... A PLAYGROUND!!

Currently, our recess consists of students either staying inside to play or if we go outside, they are limited to running around on the blacktop.

Recess is an integral part of education. Recess teaches students how to play appropriately, problem solve, and how to socialize with others.

We are currently receiving estimates from playground supply companies and it seems that the average amount for building a playground is close to $50,000. Our goal is to get as much funding as we can in order to begin constructing a playground and have it ready to use by August 2015.

Please take the time to consider donating towards our project! Not only do we aspire to giving our students the best education possible, but we want to give them the best experience possible!
