John,
Community Schoolyards™ 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.
We hope to hear back from you soon!
Sincerely,
Barry Hirsch
Director of Membership
