Playground Fundraising Project Donations

Thank you to our incredible W.O. Mitchell school community for your continued support of our Playground Fundraising Project!

Through grant applications and community donations, we have raised over $275,000 toward our $415,000 fundraising goal! This is an exciting milestone, bringing us closer to creating a welcoming, engaging, and inclusive outdoor play space for current and future W.O. Mitchell students.

Our goal is to raise the remaining $140,000 by the end of the school year, supporting our plans for a summer 2027 playground installation.

Every contribution brings us one step closer to making this vision a reality. Thank you for your ongoing generosity, partnership, and commitment to our school community!
