"LET THEM BE KIDS" is an all volunteer, non-profit organization created to build community capacity on the grassroots level; while building playgrounds, skate parks and fitness parks across Canada. These projects leave a legacy of community members who are inspired and better equipped to lay a strong foundation for a brighter tomorrow.

The Elizabeth Rummel School & Community Playground Project is a school directed initiative that will replace an outdated wooden play structure with a safer, enhanced and larger capacity structure on the joint-use land adjacent to the school. The project’s scope will include further enhancements to the outdoor and field area. The intention of this venture is to strengthen our sense of community and to inspire and empower all of our residents through involvement in this project from “conception” to “installation”.

Our kids are awesome!

It is truly AMAZING to see how are our kids have been modelling citizenship throughout this project!

Last week students suggested a Penny Drive for the playground, and we agree that this is a great idea! If you have jars or tins of pennies collecting dust in your closets and drawers this is a good opportunity to clear out some space and at the same time support a worthy cause. We will be collecting pennies in the office until Monday, May 31.

A group of grade 4 students also raised a concern about the trees being cut down. The principal, Nancy Crosley, had a good discussion with them about saving trees vs. safety and what they can do. They were encouraged to sign up for landscaping on build day. They want to know that at least 9 new trees will be planted somewhere to replace the 9 that are to be cut down. One little girl is going to give a tree to the landscaping crew!
