Protect our children from harmful sunrays
The Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) would like to purchase a canopy for the school playground, a venture that has a price tag of $18,000.00.

Why? Because the primetime for recess, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., coincides with the sun's most intense rays and credible research increasingly points to childhood sunburns as a potential major contributor to skin cancers later in life, inlcuding the hard-to-treat Melanoma. Ironically, we have a curriculum that focuses on the dangers of over-exposure to sun and how to protect yourself - yet we send our children out to play on a toally exposed playground.

BYO Recreation, a national company based in St. Augustine, Florida, which recently installed a very effective canopy at West Texas Rehabilitation Center in San Angelo, will deliver and install the canopy we need for $18,000.00.

Currently, the PTF has $4300.00 dedicated to the project, and has received $6,250.00 in donations specifically designated for the sunshade. Unfortunately, our attempts to obtain grants have not been successful, leaving us in need of about $7,450.00 to provide our students with a sun-safe playground.

In an effort to complete this project, the PTF membership voted at its October meeting to solicit donations for the playground canopy, and to match those donations up to $5,000.00. With the PTF matching funds, a sun-safe playground can become a reality, with less than $20.00 per student in donations! In the event we are blessed to receive more money than required for the canopy, PTF will utilize those funds for further playground improvments.

Your tax-deductible donation to Cornerstone Christian School WILL make a difference and will be deeply appreciated.
