Support Our Project!

Sibley East PCO has been working hard for the past 1.5 years to make this dream a reality, and we’re so close! Our goal is to break ground by mid-summer 2026.

Help our youngest learners explore, climb, and play! We’re in the final stretch, and together, we can finish strong. We’re raising funds to build a new playground designed specifically for children ages 2–5. The playground will be located west of our current 5–12 playground.
