Re-districting means that many Amherst families will soon be new Crocker
Farm families. With the understanding that we are all in this together,
and knowing how fortunate we are at Fort River to have a fantastic
playground, the Parent Council urges you to open your wallets and help Crocker
Farm improve theirs! And remember all families with kids will benefit from having a fun new playground in town!Please read the message from the Crocker Farm PGO below:
Calling all Amherst residents... We need your help building a new playground at Crocker Farm!
Our existing equipment is almost 20 years old, in bad shape, and many components are broken. The landscaping needs to be updated to adhere to legal codes and provide basic safety. There is simply not enough equipment to meet the physical needs of the school.
The proposed new playground for Crocker Farm is a lively outdoor space which will better support Crocker Farm's growing student body. It also will be a destination play area for the greater Amherst community. Playgrounds encourage children to develop strong social skills, understanding of spatial concepts, and appreciation for physical activity.
With redistricting, it is more important than ever to create a play space that meets the physical needs of a expanding school. We have an ambitious goal of raising $40,000 to have a new playground installed this summer. Please help us reach this goal by donating today!
