Let Them Be Kids
"LET THEM BE KIDS" is an all volunteer, non-profit organization created to build community capacity on the grassroots level; while building playgrounds, skate parks and fitness parks across Canada. These projects leave a legacy of community members who are inspired and better equipped to lay a strong foundation for a brighter tomorrow.
The Jeremy Shaw Memorial Playground

Celebrate our community Spirit on Build Day Oct, 2nd
Join us in honoring Jeremy Shaw, Oct 2nd
Our entire community was saddened by the accidental passing of Jeremy Robert Shaw on Dec 4th, 2009. Jeremy was the beloved son of Chuck and Marie Shaw. Jeremy attended Dr A T Leatherbarrow School in his Primary years and is remembered fondly as a very active young boy. Jeremy lived in the community his whole life. He had a firm handshake and a warm smile for everyone he met. He embodied the spirit of outdoor enthusiasm, enjoying 4- wheeling, snowmobiling, camping and fishing. He was a testimonial to the quality lifestyle that he and his family fostered and contributed to in the Hampton community. He was a loving husband to his wife Amy, and proud father to his son Will.
It is with deepest regard for the entire Shaw Family, and in gratitude for all that they have contributed to our community over the past decade that we respectfully dedicate this playground to the memory of Jeremy Shaw. We hope that the entire community will be inspired by the Shaw's continued involvement and commitment to worthy community projects that will leave a legacy for our future generations.

We Need Your Help- Join the Effort!
Recently, Dr A T Leatherbarrow Primary School learned that it was the recipient of a prestigious National Award through the LET THEM BE KIDS Foundation! This grant assists schools like DATL, to help purchase and install playground equipment while strengthening the community as a whole. Every dollar raised by our community will be matched dollar for dollar by the Let Them Be Kids Foundation meaning every $1 you donate automatically turns into $2 - what an impact! This award also provides a tremendous opportunity for the town of Hampton by helping our children learn a lesson far greater than just getting a new playground.
This project has 3 defined goals to benefit our community;
1. Promote and develop friendships and learning through physical activity for our students and our community
2. Enhance the lives of our children and families within our community and school by providing a safe and stimulating play environment and outdoor area.
3. Rejuvenate the DATL school ground and create a sense of pride and ownership by having the students and community members involved in the planning, financing, and construction of the playground.
This is something you won’t want to miss being a part of! On September 25, 2010, community members, students, parents and teachers will all join together as a team to build this new playground all in ONE DAY!
