| Sharon Elementary is in need of a new playground. Help them out by going to Hamburger Helper community project website. All information below. Sharon Elementary is a great school. I wouldn't be driving out of my way each morning to take Ally there if it wasn't. I am so proud to be teaching there and really hope that my teaching career keeps me in the Sharon school system all the way to retirement. For those who don't know, it is where Michael went to school and where is parents live as well. It is a small rural community with such loyalty and pride. I really enjoy being a part of it! The problem is that our playground is a disgrace. A new kid was recently injured on the one slide we had so it was taken out. That leaves a few swings for the older kids to play on and that's about it. A group of them just stand around me and talk each morning. Then the younger kids have one swingset, a dirt box, and a rounded monkey-bar set that only 3 kids are allowed to be on at a time. With 25 kids in our kindergarten class, and 28 in the pre-k, you can imagine some of the arguments that take place. Plus kids are getting hurt on the monkey-bars everyday. It is so sad when Ally comes running out to try and get one of the 4 swings and gets beat out. She just stands off to the side and waits for someone to leave. We've been raising money every way you can think of. We save box tops for education, cambells soup labels, and have sold everything under the sun. There are constant contests, dinners, raffles, and donations going on. Still with all this effort, the kids will be in high school before that much money can be raised. Our one ray of hope is in the Hamburger Helper community project website. They award money to worthy causes including recently giving the Vici volunteer fire dept funds for new equipment. We have a project created that you can find at www.myhometownhelper.com and do a search for "Sharon" it is called Sharon-Mutual Support Club. You click on it and then leave a comment of some kind. The more comments we get the more support we seem to have and the more likely we are to receive a grant. PLEASE take a sec and go to the website and support our cause. I really appreciate it!!!! search OKLAHOMA Sharon-Mutual Support Club That will take you right to it. Thank you all for your help...Please pass this on. To help a school in Oklahoma. Let's make it safe for there kids to play! |
