Our goal for the 2023-2024 school year was to raise money for a new playground! We need to get to $75,000, and as of the end of the school year, we had $67,500! Thank you all for your support, we look forward to reaching our goal this year.
If you wish to make a direct donation to our playground fund, you can do so on our WEFI page by selecting “Clemens Mill PS – 0183” and mention “playground” in the private message.
