Friends, neighbors, parents, relatives – anyone who can hold a wrench and is at least 15 years of age – will gather this weekend, February 9 and 10, to help build the new Learning Landscape at Kaiser Elementary School in southwest Denver.

This Learning Landscape program is an entrepreneurial community-minded alliance of public and private interests that seeks to strengthen Denver Public Schools and surrounding neighborhoods by designing new multi-dimensional playgrounds and social gathering places.

Up to 75 volunteers are expected at Kaiser on both days, with construction beginning at 9:00 a.m. and ending around 5:00 p.m.
Volunteers will be supported by a small army of sponsors, including Pepsi, Starbucks Coffee, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts,
McDonald's, Sierra Springs Water, Papa Johns Pizza, King Soopers, Peabody Coffee, Robinson's Dairy, the Denver Classroom Teachers Association and the office of Lieutenant Governor Joe Rogers.

Supporters of the project are also encouraged to buy bricks – with personalized inscriptions – for $25 each. Inscriptions can include two lines of up to 17 spaces per line. The Kaiser Playground Committee is managing this fundraising effort.

For more information about the new construction and how to support it, please call Kaiser at 303-795-6014.
