Educational Impact — June, 2024
$7,000 to St. Raphael Catholic School for a Preschool Playground
Director of Mission and Communication Joan Soper writes,
“We are so pleased to share that we have completed the construction of our new Legacy Preschool Playground! Thanks to the generosity and support of CCF and our amazing school alumni, we broke ground on the Legacy Playground in late September, and celebrated our ribbon cutting ceremony shortly after MEA break.
“Our littlest learners are having a blast both in and out of the classroom. Beyond the physical transformation, the project also inspired generations of Saint Raphael alumni to reconnect and partner with us in fundraising for the new playground. That momentum sparked fresh relationships within our community. Many alumni have even returned home to Saint Raphael to see their names honored on the Legacy Playground plaque, proudly displayed on the playground safety gates. Today, we not only have a new playground, but also a stronger, more engaged alumni community.”
