Supporters, Sponsors, Donors, Parents, CA School Board, and Community Members,

On behalf of The Playground Project Corp., thank you for your incredible generosity, time, and support. Because of you, what began as a dream for our children has become a reality.

Through your donations, fundraising, advocacy, and encouragement, The Playground Project Corp. was able to contribute $96,105.16 to Chester Academy toward the construction of its new playground. This remarkable achievement belongs to every single person who believed in this project and helped bring it to life.

This playground will be a place where children laugh, play, grow, and build memories for years to come. It represents the power of a community coming together with a shared purpose—and we are deeply grateful to each of you for making that possible.

With this milestone accomplished, we also wish to share that The Playground Project Corp. has officially completed its mission and is now dissolved. While the organization has closed, the impact of your generosity will live on through the students and families who will enjoy this playground every day.

Thank you for trusting us, supporting us, and standing with us throughout this journey. We could not have done this without you.

With sincere appreciation,

The Playground Project Corp.
Karolyn, Jennifer, Liz, and Diane

Vote YES on Warrant Article 6!

* 2026 Tax Impact ONLY
* 0.21/$1000 Based on $500,000 is only a ONE TIME $105.
* See pictures
* Current playground is not accessible for all
* If we wait, price will increase. Equipment cost doubled from the time since the first warrant article in 2024.
* If we wait, we will lose $10,000 in grants that must be used in 2025.
* If we wait, it may need to be torn down before new one can be built. Then what?

It takes a Village. Who is in ours?

Today, The Playground Project Corp. received a Community Grant from Derry Wolverine Dream Foundation in the amount of $10,000! We are beyond grateful. This also means we can subtract that amount from our Playground Warrant Article.

Who's going to match it?

Exciting News!

The Playground Project Corp. has successfully raised just over $80,000 to support the construction of Chester Academy’s brand-new playground, scheduled for completion in July 2025. Continued support is essential as we work together to bring this exciting project to life for our children and community!

The warrant article will be for $245,000 after being reduced by at least a $75,000 contribution by The Playground Project Corp. This amount includes:

• Equipment and installation
• Basketball and gaga ball setup
• Demolition of existing equipment and removal
• Basic site preparation and drainage
• A contingency fund

At the current amount of $245,000, the tax impact is estimated to be $0.21 per $1,000 of assessed property value. This will ONLY impact the 2026 tax year. We need all registered voters to attend on March 12 and vote YES to the Playground Warrant Article!

While we do not have any major fundraisers planned, we are still offering personalized bricks (to be placed at the playground’s entrance. Additionally, the Chester General Store will be hosting a generous sandwich fundraiser in the coming weeks. Every dollar raised before the March 12 meeting reduces the amount of the warrant article!

We couldn’t have come this far without your incredible support—thank you for helping us build a better future for our children.

Sincerely,

The Playground Project Corp.
