Norton Flea Market success

We would like to thank everyone who donated plants or baked goods to the Norton Community Playground table at last Saturday's Norton Flea Market at the Legion. It was a lovely day and a great success. Thank you to everyone who helped out!

We still have some plants left over for sale. Stop by Wonderland Child Care (1903 Route 121) to view the selection. $4 for a large plant and $2 for small.

Debly Enterprises big donation in kind

Debly Enterprises made a big donation in kind (worth $40,000) to take care of all the ground work at the playground this Summer so that we will be able to construct and assemble our playground in September!

We're already at $45,000 on our way towards our goal of $250,000

Climb, buddy, climb! (We need a name for him).
Thank you to Shaw Signs for the slide fundraising meter.

$5000 from SACF

We received $5000 from the Sussex Area Community Foundation to go towards our new playground! We made the announcement at the community picnic we hosted last Friday evening at the Norton Elementary School.

Hip Hip Hooray!

Playground Design

The children of Norton will have the opportunity to help design the new playground tonight. Bring them to the Norton Elementary School from 6-8pm and they will have a chance to cast their vote.

There will be activities for the children and hot dogs on the barbecue so bring your favourite dish and we'll make a picnic out of this. We will also be presenting information about the progress that has been made thus far in the two weeks since we announced the LTBK award. And there will be a special unveiling, too.

The sun is shining and we have plenty of good news to share, so come out to the school and let's have a picnic!
