Let’s Ride – So We Can Play!
Help Replace Burnham Public School’s Playground Structures!
Burnham Public School needs your support! Both playground structures at our school need to be replaced in the next few years due to safety concerns. The cost of replacing these is estimated at more than $50,000, but there is currently very little funding available for this essential project.
The Burnham Parent Council is actively seeking fundraising opportunities to cover these expenses, as budget is limited. Without these funds, the Kindergarten yard will be without a play structure, and other school resources may also be at risk. Join us in our efforts to provide safe and fun playgrounds for our children and community. Every contribution counts!
Saturday:
