Meadowmere Elementary Playground
Donation protected
Meadowmere Elementary School in Grandview, MO is in desperate need of a playground facelift! The playground the 2nd-5th graders use was built in 1989, and is showing its age.
As pieces have worn out (and continue to wear out) they are just removed, and not replaced. Even since the filming of our info video here, more pieces have been removed.
The PTA has received quotes of $40,000 for a playground renovation. The kids have been hard at work raising funds for the last couple of years and have raised a little over $8,000 to date. At this rate, it'll be another 5 years before the playground is fixed. While the PTA is busy applying for grants, it's time to go big with the fundraising now!
All our kids want is a fun place to be active and burn energy in the middle of their school day. Help make this playground dream a reality for our kids!
Some of the issues... (some covered in the video, and some not)
Missing slide
Two remaining tire swings are falling apart
Ew. What's growing on the stairs?!
Rusted hole where a tire swing used to hang.
Gravel filling and redistributing needed to cover bare spots left after years of use.
If you would like to donate by check, you may do so! Checks can be made payable to Meadowmere PTA, and write "playground fund" in the memo. Checks can then be mailed to 7010 E. 136th St, Grandview, MO 64030
