Playground Project
Before there was Friends of Pritzker, there was a small group of parents working to raise funds to improve the Kindergarten and Preschool playground. During this process we realized we had friends. Well, actually, we realized that we needed to become a 501(c)(3) in order to raise funds and that we had friends, one of whom was a lawyer. This is the short story of how we became Friends of Pritzker School.
We are still working on the first major goal of our organization, which is to raise $40,000 to renovate the preschool and kindergarten playground. Currently, it is an empty, fenced-in area with buckling concrete. We are confident that with our collective creative energy we can raise the funds necessary to turn it into an outdoor arts, exploration and imagination space with a stage for impromptu playground performances, Plexiglas easels for painting, a sandbox for digging and exploring, and creative equipment for imaginative play.
