Background

Ever since Hollis Montessori School opened, the community has dreamed of building a playground. Playgrounds support the development of children's gross motor skills, control, coordination, and strength. When their bodies are strong and connected with their minds, our children flourish. In addition, the playground offers an extension to the classroom for developing social skills and practicing grace and courtesy. Our playground will offer the opportunity for our families and children to connect and build community.

Fund the Future: Donate to build the PLayground!

The total cost of the playground will be $158,000. Last year, the members of this community opened their hearts and came together to provide a foundation to start making that dream a reality. This year, we’ve raised even more, bringing the total to $126,715, or over 80% of the total cost of the playground! This includes a 2-year pledge from the members of the school’s Board of Directors for $30,000, as well as an additional $10,000 matching fund for this year’s Fund the Future special appeal.

We are proud of the progress we’ve made this past year: we broke ground and prepared the area, designed a playground plan, and installed Phase One! With your help, we aim to fundraise the remaining $31,085 and install Phase Two in spring of 2025.

We are wrapping up our two-year campaign to fund the playground. Major Donors to the Playground Fund will be recognized based on the total of their donations over the two years of the campaign. There will be a plaque in the school thanking everyone who gave a total of $1,000 or more. All donations received by the end of 2024 will be counted towards these levels.
