Bernon Heights Seeks Pepsi Grant To Help Fund Playground

The Bernon Heights Elementary School PTO has launched a campaign for votes to win a $25K Pepsi Refresh Project grant to help fund a playground at the school. Members of the public can vote for the idea three times a day every day, now through August 31, 2011, at www.refresheverything.com/playground4bernon.
 
Bernon Heights Elementary School does not have a playground and the school’s PTO is working hard to try to raise the funds needed to build one. The children currently play on a blacktop and in a field adjacent to the parking lot. By voting for building a playground at Bernon Heights, supporters could enrich the educational experience for the school’s more than 400 students, providing them with a safe and fun place to play, right on school grounds.
 
To vote for Bernon Heights, supporters should visit www.refresheverything.com/playground4bernon, register with the site and vote for the “idea” three times a day. Supporters can also collect Power Vote codes from specially-marked Pepsi product packages. The codes can be entered on the site and those extra votes can be given to the “Playground 4 Bernon” idea.
 
The Pepsi Refresh Project has already given away thousands of dollars in grants to improve education across America. Now, parents, teachers and supporters of the school hope it’s Bernon Heights’ turn.
