I hope this isn't taken the wrong way, as I certainly think it is worthwhile to collect boxtops for a playground. I just couldn't help but think back to my elementary school days. I don't know what other schools had, but ours certainly had no playground equipment. I attended that school for 9 years (k-8th) and during that time we all played on the school's parking lot with jump ropes we brought from home, bats and balls we brought from home, etc. Fortunately, it was a large parking lot!
One thing I will say about our school is that every one of us learned to read, write, and do math. We were all polite to our elders too......
Times have really changed!
