Help Our Littles Play: New Playground Equipment for St. John's Lutheran School Pre-K

The Need
Our precious Pre-K students at St. John's Lutheran School need an upgraded playground.

About St. John's Lutheran School
Founded in 1997, St. John's Lutheran School (SJLS) has been serving families in our community for nearly three decades. Located at 1032 NW 12th St, our school is built on Christian principles and provides exceptional education in a nurturing environment.

Our PALS (Parents And Lutheran School) organization has been the vital link between families and our school since 2000, organizing fundraisers, events, and community-building activities that make our school thrive.

Why This Matters
  • Development: Outdoor play is crucial for physical, social, and emotional development in early childhood
  • Education: Our "littles" deserve the same quality outdoor learning environment as our older students
  • Community: SJLS has always been a place where every child matters, regardless of budget constraints

What We Need
We're seeking funds to purchase and install:
  • New age-appropriate playground equipment for Pre-K students
  • Essential shade structure to protect children from sun exposure
  • Safety surfacing and installation costs
  • Any additional safety features needed for compliance

Goal Amount: $25,000

How You Can Help
