For years now, the children of Bishop’s Falls have dreamed of a community playground facility filled with fun where there is something for the whole family! WOW! Now the time has come where we can do something to improve the situation and we need YOUR help to make it happen!
Recently, through the support of our playground committee, we learned that Bishop’s Falls was the recipient a prestigious National Award through the LET THEM BE KIDS foundation! This grant will help enable us to purchase and install playground equipment, a volleyball court, exercise equipment, a walking track and much more as we endeavor to develop a community park in the west end. We will also make improvements to the Helen Tulk Elementary School playground and ensure it meets safety standards. In achieving this ambitious project we feel it will strengthening the community as a whole. Every dollar raised by our community will be matched dollar for dollar by the LET THEM BE KIDS foundation meaning every $1 you donate automatically turns into $2 - what an impact! This award also provides a tremendous opportunity for the town of Bishop’s Falls by helping our children learn a lesson far greater than just getting a new playground. By strengthening and defining our sense of community, we will motivate and inspire children and citizens alike to help others for the good of giving and not because they will get something in return. In addition, our playground will be dedicated to honor soldiers from Bishop’s Falls who served our great nation and helped support the freedoms of others.
This is something YOU won`t want to miss being a part of! On July 31st, 2010, community members, students, parents, teachers & parishioners will all join together as a team to build a new community park and upgrade Helen Tulk Elementary playground all in ONE DAY!
