The Friends of Buker is in the process of raising funds for Phase
2 of the new Buker playground project! This past summer we replaced our 17 year
old playground with new play structures that can be used and enjoyed by
students of all grade levels as well as many children in the Hamilton-Wenham
community who play on the playground during practices and games. Phase 2 of the
project includes plans for the installation of a brick patio that will be
located adjacent to the new playground. It is our hope that this space will
provide our students an opportunity to gather and socialize, as well as
function as an outdoor classroom during the warmer months. The new playground
is dedicated in the memory of our schoolmate and friend Jennifer Maio whom we
lost in October of 2015.
We have been working for more than two years to raise the money
necessary to pay for this project. Funding has relied heavily upon donations
from members of our Buker community, our local businesses, our school district,
and the towns of Hamilton and Wenham. We could not have accomplished all that
we have in this amount of time without your help. We sincerely thank all of our
donors for your extraordinary and continued generosity.
