Our Playground Appeal

Building a Foundation for Faith and Play

At St. Ray’s, we believe a playground is more than just equipment and mulch—it is where community is practiced. It is the heart of our school day, where the children who pray together each morning go to laugh, run, and experience the simple joy of being together.

We are officially launching our Playground Capital Campaign, and we invite you to help us build a safe, joy-filled space where friendships form and imaginations flourish.

Our Progress

We have set an ambitious goal to ensure our students have the space they deserve. Thanks to the incredible spirit of our community, we are already off to a strong start.

Target Completion: Summer 2027

Total Campaign Goal: $250,000

Funds Raised as of 4.26.26: $68,159.01

A Vision of Possibility

What could our new playground look like? While these are not the final blueprints, the images below offer a glimpse into the possibilities ahead.

(Note: Final designs will include secure fencing and surfacing not fully depicted in these initial renderings.)

How You Can Help

Every gift, large or small, makes a meaningful impact. Your participation sends a powerful message to our students: that we believe in investing in their joy, their growth, and their daily experience at St. Ray’s. Please consider a donation today!
