Mrs. Knapp, the current PTA president, the primary teachers, and Miss Foust have initiated a fundraising drive to replace the playground equipment. They would like to begin promoting community support through collecting Box Tops for Education tabs. These tabs are reimbursable and found on many household products. Members of the community who are willing to participate can participate by collecting these tabs and submitting them to the elementary school.
Another fundraising activity initiated by the elementary art teacher, Miss Grieve, is a student art program called Square 1 Art where family members can order customized products that display their child’s artwork. Profits from this activity will also be donated to the playground fund.
The elementary school is also seeking financial contributions from community supporters or local businesses. Anyone willing to contribute is asked to send donations to Canton Elementary School noting “playground” in the memo. Contributors will receive a verification letter for tax purposes if desired.
