SUPPORT SAINT JAMES' EPISCOPAL SCHOOL DURING GIVE LOCAL PIEDMONT!

Let’s build something amazing—together! This year, we’re raising funds for Phase 2 of our Outdoor Play Project, which will bring an additional $51,450 worth of enhancements to our play and learning spaces.

Phase 1 has been fully funded and will give our students new space to move, explore, and connect. Phase 2 will add even more—a 14'x16' shade pavilion ($10,600), walls and steps with paver landing and drainage improvements ($27,650), artificial turf zones ($8,200), and concrete walkways ($5,000)—creating a safe, beautiful, and functional environment for joyful, imaginative play and outdoor learning.

By giving today, you’re investing in more than play structures—you’re investing in the well-being, growth, and creativity of every child at SJES.

Why Outdoor Play Matters (Preschool – Grade 5):

• Boosts Physical Development: Running, climbing, and balancing help kids grow stronger, healthier, and more confident.
• Enhances Cognitive Skills: Play sparks curiosity, problem-solving, and decision-making.
• Supports Emotional Health: Time outside helps reduce stress and fosters joy.
• Fosters Social Growth: Outdoor spaces encourage teamwork, communication, and empathy.
• All-Weather Wonder: A well-designed outdoor space means more time outdoors, year-round!

Your generous support brings us one step closer to completing this incredible vision. Let’s create a space where learning and laughter live side by side—every single day.

Donate now and help us bring Phase 2 to life!
