Playground Rebuild 

The Playground is on hold pending cancellation. The Charter Council feels it is not in the school's best interest to replace our old and outdated equipment at this time. They have made arrangements to repair the equipment from 1969 and the 1980's They have requested that the SREF refuse the Kaboom grant.

Here are a few photographs to demonstrate why SREF thought a new playground would be a welcome gift to Smoke Rise Elementary

Thanks to a matching grant of $15,000 from Kaboom/ Lets Play and Snapple, Dr Pepper we are well on our way to building the new play area. We are still reaching for our goal and would like to raise about $5000 more before September 20th. If you are interested in donating please visit our fundraising page at Crowdrise
