One of our main objectives is to complete this project without using tax dollars. We live in a very generous community and feel that we can achieve our goal without having to raise taxes. An account has been created through The Louisville Public School Foundation. This account is located at Pinnacle Bank in Louisville and has been designated specifically for the Louisville Playground project. All donations are tax deductible. Checks should be made payable to: Louisville Public Schools Foundation, Playground Fund.
In Louisville, we are fortunate to have multiple organizations working to create improvements to our community. We recognize that this often means that we are all asking our local businesses and families for their support. A contribution to the Elementary Playground Project is an investment that will sustain the greatest impact on our community. By the fall of 2018, it is anticipated that 360 students will be enrolled in the Elementary School. From late August through late May, each of those students utilizes this play space five days a week with rare exception. This means that each week, upwards of 1,800 pairs of feet cross the surface we are working to improve. In a school year, we can surmise the playground to be used approximately 68,400 times. That is a substantial return on investment, before accounting for community use on the weekends and during the summer months.
