Playground

Build the Future! Playground Reimagined.

For many years, the playground behind Queen of the Rosary Church and School has been a cherished resource for the children of our parish and school community. However, due to weathering and age, our current equipment has become outdated and may soon not meet the safety standards we uphold for our children.

To ensure the viability of our playground for years to come, our beloved preschool teacher, Mrs. Laura Ellefson, and the passionate president of our Parents Club, Ms. Chrissy LaPenna, are spearheading efforts to raise $75,000. While this goal may seem ambitious, we believe it is achievable with the collective support and unity of our wonderful community.

Why We Need Your Help

“It’s important that we provide a safe and engaging environment for our children to play and grow,” says Mrs. Ellefson.

The funds we raise will be used to:

  • Remove the old equipment
  • Purchase and install state-of-the-art playground equipment suitable for both 3-5 year olds, who use it as part of our early childhood curriculum, and 5-years and older, who enjoy it during recess and playtime
    These upgrades will ensure that our playground remains a safe, fun and inclusive space for the children in our parish and school for years to come.

Join Us in Making a Difference

“We believe in the strength of our community,” says Chrissy LaPenna. “Together, we can achieve this goal and provide our children with the best possible play environment.”

We invite everyone to join us in this important effort. Scroll down to make a donation through our secure online portal, or mark any envelope “PLAYGROUND” and drop it off in the parish office or Sunday offertory. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to our goal.

Donations at all levels are welcome and will help us toward our goal of $75,000. However, we want to recognize generosity at certain levels in a special way. As we read in Luke 6:38, “Give and gifts will be given to you.” We’ve designed the following packages to recognize your support and show our gratitude:
