Hello from our Garth Worthington Fundraiser Society!
We are so pleased with all of you in your dedication, hard-earned donations and participation in the last three years. Playgrounds are not only fun for the kids, but they also allow our children to have an outlet for specific movement and endurance they deserve at recess. With all the hard work from our school, community and fundraiser committee we are reaching our goals day by day.
With the help of John Morgan and the city of Edmonton, our school was allotted $100,000 towards our playground build as of April 2026. With the recently fundraised funds, we are currently sitting at roughly $416,000 for our phase 1 build! Our current goal for the phase 1 build is $450,000. With the help of a few community donations and the fundraising events we have lined up, we are sure we can reach that goal. If our funds reach past the amount of $450 k, we will be able to add more amazing items to this build and start planning for phase 2, so the more money fundraised means more opportunities for the playground and our families.
We are on the right track for getting the phase 1 playground built, aiming to start by the spring/summer of 2027. This is a huge thank you to all of the volunteering, donations and outreach that have helped us so far! We hope that once we start the playground project, there will be more opportunities for fun activities within the school to give back to you and your families.
Playground designs and budget details are available to all parents at every monthly meeting. Our GWFS meetings are held once a month, online. If you wish to attend a meeting, go to our website and follow the link to rsvp. We welcome all and are always looking for ideas, feedback and participation.
Thank you!
