help construct a beautiful walkway at Burr Elementary’s new
playground!
accessible playground can be built on the school grounds by June 2015.
*In the early 1990s, the
Burr School community came together to fundraise and build Burr school’s current playground.
Before that time the school did not have a playground.
*PTO’s are responsible for
paying for the Newton public schools’ playgrounds.
The City does not contribute to the cost of
building the playground.
*Newton Parks and
Recreation regularly inspects the playground for safety.
As of the fall 2013 inspection, the
playground was approximately 50% rotted through with an estimated remaining usable life of 1-2
years.
If we do not raise the money to replace the
playground before the existing one is shut down, our kids won’t have a playground at
school.

the playground and how you can make a difference, please contact us at: [email protected]
