John,
Community Schoolyards(TM) projects are game-changing: They
transform our nation's asphalt schoolyards into vibrant, green
spaces that improve the daily lives of students, educators, and the
surrounding community.
Together, we have renovated nearly 300 schoolyards nationwide,
increasing access to the outdoors in communities that need parks the
most. And with this TRIPLE MATCH, you have the power to help even more
communities.
Don't miss this opportunity to make your
dollar go even further. Remember, all membership gifts will be triple
matched for a limited time.

One of the cities where we are transforming underused
schoolyards into vibrant public parks is in Atlanta, Georgia. For
example, second-grade students at Atlanta's Sarah Smith
Elementary School have been working hard for over a year with TPL and
its program partners to design an update to the school campus.
This transformation will make the schoolyard
accessible to people of all ages, and make it available after school
hours. It will reflect and celebrate the school's community.
This project includes erecting playground and outdoor musical
equipment, installing site furniture and birdhouses, replanting the
school garden, and removing invasive plant species along the
campus's property line. Sarah Smith Elementary is one of a
10-school proof-of-concept program with the Atlanta Public School
system.
But John, our
Community Schoolyards initiative requires the support of dedicated
supporters like you and with your help, we can succeed in our effort
to connect everyone to the outdoors.
