Clovis school in national contest for new playground

The Charlie Keyan Armenian Community School in Clovis needs a
playground. The school has been in the Fresno area for 31 years, but
only 3 months at it’s new, permanent site.

The only play area on campus is the blacktop parking lot. Students,
parents, teachers and administrators are asking the public for help. The
small, private school has entered a contest sponsored by Big Lots called
"Lots 2 Give." They produced a short video that’s posted on the "Lots 2
Give" website and explains their need.
The public votes for their favorite video through July 22nd, and the
school with the most votes will win $10,000– enough to transform a dirt
lot into a nice playground for the Armenian Community School.
The public can vote three times a day, every day until the end of the
contest.
Vote by visiting Lots2give.com and enter the school’s zip code: 93612.
The winner of the contest will be announced in early August.
