Schupp: Spoede Parent Request

Colorful, accessible playground

Spoede Elementary School Parents Request Your Help, Too!!

Accessible Playground


Dear Friends and Neighbors

The 82nd District parents and students are busy working to make our public schools even better!

The 82nd District State House includes parts of the public school districts of Ladue, Parkway and Pattonville (in alphabetical order, of course!)

Spoede Elementary is another worthy contestant in the Pepsi contest to help improve their school.  Please read below and see why Spoede parents have been emailing me about their efforts to build an accessible playground at Spoede. 

Spoede Elementary School Competing for $250,000 Grant to Build a New Accessible Playground
You can help!

Through participation in the Pepsi Refresh Project, Spoede Elementary School is competing to win a grant of $250,000 that will enable the school to build a new playground specially designed for all elementary school age children, including those with disabilities.

"We are fortunate to have a very diverse student population," states Principal Dr. Connie Brawley.  "Approximately 46 percent of our students are minorities, and 1 in 5 has been diagnosed with a disability.  A playground of this caliber would enhance our ability to serve each and every student's academic, emotional and physical needs."  The playground will also be available to neighborhood children outside of school hours.

Anyone interested in helping Spoede Elementary School win the grant can do so by casting votes during the month of November.  Three methods of voting are available:
  1. Log on to the Pepsi Refresh Web site at www.refresheverything.com/spoedeschool
  2. Text your vote to 104016 to Pepsi at 73774.
  3. Vote using the Facebook application on the Pepsi Refresh Web site.
If you'd like a daily reminder to vote, just send an e-mail to ssaplaygroundbuzz{at}yahoo{dot}com.

So, weigh in and help one of our schools win and put into place a worthy project for our kids and our schools!

All the best,

Jill

    As co-chair of the playground committee, I can tell you that we have put a lot of heart and soul into designing a playground that will benenfit all of our students, support learning at school, and serve as a real asset to our community. However, we really need this grant to make it all happen!

    Voting takes just seconds per day, and every vote counts. As word is getting out, we have already started to move up in the ranks, but we need to be #1 or #2 to win.

    With the support of our entire district, we are already closer to our goal. Thank you for your support!
