The students of Foster Elementary HAVE A PLAYGROUND!!!
Kids selling lemonade, washing cars and bringing in pennies, dimes, nickels and quarters got us closer to our goal.
Generous donations from friends, families and neighbors got us closer to our goal.
Local businesses like the Conservatory and D&D Collision stepping up to help the cause got us closer to our goal.
Now, with a generous $25,000 donation from Planet Ford in Humble….
We have reached our goal!!

Thank you to everyone who made the playground a possibility. It is a wonderful testament to why we choose to live and raise our families in Kingwood!
On July 4th, 2009 vandals set fire to the playground equipment at Foster Elementary in Kingwood, Texas. HISD does not provide the playground equipment or replacement. It will have to be replaced by Foster PTA fundraisers and donations, along with assistance from Foster Elementary. Initial quotes from HISD were around $80,000 to replace the equipment. We are in the process of getting different bids from many playground companies - our current projection to put a new playground in is $40,000 - $45,000.
There are currently no suspects in this crime. Crime Stoppers is offering a $5,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest and charging of a suspect. If you have any information about the fire, please contact Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-TIPS.
