Yesterday a group of community volunteers helped dismantle the old Norton playground. Now we will be able to begin the landscaping and groundwork that needs to get done before September 22.
You can see some photos here.

Also, remember that tomorrow (July 7) is the demolition day for the old playground. We need to dismantle the old equipment so that it can be reused by Norton or another community. If you are able to help out, or know someone who might be interested, please meet at the Norton Elementary School at 8:00am on Saturday, July 7. You can also contact nortonplayground@gmail.com to let us know if you can make it.

Thank you Amy & Isaac McMillan
A huge thank you is in order for Amy and Isaac McMillan. They raised $100 selling homemade cotton candy on Canada Day in Norton! Way to go!
In total, we were able to raise $352.85 on Canada Day thanks to various fundraising activities. This just goes to show how easy it is for everyone to get involved and help out. So if you have any creative ideas on ways to raise some money this Summer, please do so.

2013 calendars at Scotiabank
A big thank you to the Scotiabank in Sussex is in order. They will be selling 2013
calendars of Norton Elementary School children's artwork and they have promised to match the funds. The calendars are being sold for a mere $10, however each calendar sold will allow us to have $20 to go towards the new playground! And when you think about what Let Them Be Kids is doing it actually means we will be raising $40 for every calendar purchased!
So if you are in Sussex, please stop in and purchase a calendar (or two or three: they make great gifts) and help support the new playground.
