The students at Rainier Elementary School send the Rainier Lions Club a special, handmade "Thank You" card for helping them earn funds for their new playground. Then included a wonderful picture of the students at the playground.
Just in case your not aware Faith Boesch , a student at Rainier Elementary
School has started a campaign to raise $36,000 to build a much needed
expansion of the existing play area at our elementary school. The full story
is in the Nisqually Valley News dated Oct. 5th. Her mother Ida is assisting her
in her efforts by writing for grants . In two weeks almost $1000 has been
donated by student bringing change to school.
It’s would be great if our community stood beside our students and Faith
with it’s support. Donation jars have been placed in area businesses for
donations or you can send a check to the Elementary School at PO Box 98 ,
Rainier Wa. Please include a notation “for playground fund “.
For any additional information please contact Ida Boesch at
360-446-6034
We received the following email from Ida - updating us on the coins that have been collected from the school. Ida will start collecting coins from the local businesses this week, too.
Good Morning George & Linda, I wanted to give you an update on the
coin drive at the Elementary. After 3 weeks we are at $923.74. I would say the
kids are excited about a new playground. Grandparents day is this Friday at the
Elementary, so the kids are making posters about the coin drive to let the
grandparents know.
I will check the coin jars for the businesses this
week. Thanks for all your help.
Today George & I met with Juliette Pia (of Rainier Community Cares / Together) & Ida Boesch to discuss the new playground addition to Rainier Elementary School.
Please help Faith spread the news!
We're very excited to let you know that we're having Coins for Kids change drives going on right now throughout Rainier to get the funds to build the addition to our local playground. There will be change collection jars in our schools, classrooms and local businesses (soon), so everyone can contribute!
There are three housing developments near Rainier Elementary School. Children of all ages use the existing playground all year around. This expansion will give our children a fun, safe place to play. Playing outdoors is important for the development of large motor skills, social skills and healthy exercise.
