Calling All Volunteers!   Make your mark on history and help build the new campus     As the Episcopal community celebrates the school’s last four months in Merion and Devon, much of the focus this spring will be on looking back. But  through a wonderful opportunity with the Robert Leathers Company and the  Episcopal Academy Parents Association (EAPA), everyone will also have a  chance to make their mark on the future by helping build the new Lower  School playground.   This past December, Episcopal hosted a “design day” for the new playground  that included Lower School students who were asked to share their own ideas for how the  space should look and what it should include. Leathers also spoke with  parents, faculty, and staff, and by the end of the day came up with a  fantastic design that includes a rock wall, a spiral tube slide, and a historical playhouse.   But what makes the project particularly special, and Leathers Company  unique, is that the Episcopal community will be charged with building the  playground itself. For five days at the end of the school year, from  Wednesday, May 28th through Sunday, June 1st, Episcopal will need 500 volunteers on the new campus to help build and complete this fantastic new  playground.   It is the equivalent of an old fashioned barn-raising and there will be  plenty to do even for those who aren’t particularly good with power tools  or heavy equipment. All of our volunteers will be drilling, cutting,  sanding, digging, staining, and having fun together as parents, students,  faculty, and alumni literally help build the future of the Episcopal  Academy. We need everyone’s help!   To get a sense of a Leathers Company project, visit  www.leathersassociates.com.   If you would like to help on the project, contact Cannie Shafer, Acting Assistant  Head of School, at 610-617-2231 or cshafer@episcopalacademy.org. 6 Connections
