Support the Walden Public School Community in building a new playground!
Walden Public School is proud to be a green school, with a strong emphasis on energy conservation and environmental stewardship. Walden opened in November of 2009 and offer English and French Immersion programs to students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 in state-of-the-art facilities. It is a wonderful school nestled in the community of Lively. The motto is “Acting Today, Shaping Tomorrow”.
When Walden P.S. opened, there was no budget available for a play structure on site and upgrades for school yards are not funded by the Ministry of Education. The School Council has been diligently fundraising for 8 years with the goal of building a safe, modern, and green play structure for all children to enjoy. At this stage, we have met fundraising targets for Phase 1 of the playground structure and have plans to break ground in summer 2025.
With this in mind, we are launching our next phase of fundraising with the intention of seeking sponsorships and community donations towards the purchase and installation of the second half of the play structure.
We’re hoping our community will rally to support this project to create a new, safe hub for families and children to gather surrounded by gardens and natural play features.
Our first goal is COMPLETE . Fundraising projects raised $78,000 for Phase 1.
An additional $151,000 is required for the purchase and installation of Phase 2.
