Join us to imagine, design, and build a community play structure to replace the weathered structures at the St. Andrews neighborhood park on Lewis and 3rd in Livingston.
St. Andrews Episcopal Church is so generous to welcome the community to use their open space and we want to give back!
We are calling any kids ages 5th-10th grade to help us with this community project. You'll take it from site assessment to completion learning math and building skills, do some "fun-draising," and create something we can all be proud of that adds to the beauty of the neighborhood, and is safe to use!
Jeff Purcell is going to lead the group with the help of Tom Baskett and others.
Project launch is February 14th at 4:30-5:30pm at Educatio 129 S. Main Street.
Program will run every Tuesday through May or until complete.

Our program has two main goals!
1. LOVE OF LEARNING!
We want to give kids in our community more opportunities to a) become strong readers; b) build confidence and skills in math and science foundations through applied learning -using the world around us; and c) create meaningful impact for our community.
2. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS!
We aim to provide our community with opportunities to build Positive Childhood Experiences (PCE)s.
Spending time together actively participating in creativity and learning together builds relationship and connection. Research shows that PCEs happen around food, family, and fun!
PCEs can act as a buffer against the health effects of trauma, which we have ALL experienced.
The relationship between PCEs in childhood and good mental health in adults is dose-responsive; the more PCEs a child gets, the better their adult mental health is likely to be.
The 7 PCEs are:
- The ability to talk with family about feelings.
- The sense that family is supportive during difficult times.
- The enjoyment of participation in community traditions.
- Feeling a sense of belonging.
- Feeling supported by friends.
- Having at least two non-parent adults who genuinely care.
- Feeling safe and protected by an adult in the home.
