COMMUNITY

Sweet Apple

Elementary

PURPOSE: Our community’s goal is to ex-pand the existing Sweet Apple Park for the Ro-swell community. Landscaping the property between the existing park and Sweet Apple Elementary School will provide additional fields and a premier recreational facility for the Sweet Apple Elementary School, the #1 ranked school in Fulton County.

After approximately three years of planning, we have received approval and authorization from Roswell City Parks and Fulton County’s School Board to move forward with this com-munity project, but we need your help! Fulton County schools has no funding for this pro-ject . This is our opportunity to enhance our neighborhood and provide a better place for our children to play.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: The Sweet Apple Fields project is budgeted for $250,000. The city of Roswell has generously given $100,000 towards this plan. The neighboring church, World Harvest, has pledged an addi-tional $50,000.

THE GOAL: Our goal is to raise the remaining $100,000 this summer! To achieve this goal, we are challenging every person who would like to better our schools and community to in-vest.

HOW YOU CAN HELP: Leave your legacy for generations to come by purchasing a sponsor-ship with lifetime dedication for your support. Cash donations are also being accepted. All sponsorships and donations are tax deducti-ble. High Hope Community Development Cor-poration is donating the funding administration. 100% of the funding will be used for the Sweet Apple Fields Project.
