East Cleveland is a city that's trying desperately to change its image and return to its former days of glory... beautiful tree lined streets and homes. Let's help the youngest members of the City fall in love with East Cleveland by providing them with a great place to play. While the City makes its way back to the top of the mountain. AINT NO STOPPING 'EM NOW!!!

eastcleveland1 commented 12/05/2007

Howell commented 12/07/2007

I believe in E. Cleveland. I believe so much that I bought a house right next door for my sister. The children of E. Cleveland are hurting and need anything to let them know they are loved and are important to the city. My father at 90 years old who recently passed in October believed in education and they are the future and need something to hold on to and be proud of such as a playground.

What a great opportunity for this city!!! I remember days passed where this neighborhood was a beautiful place to walk and ride through. Let's see we can do all we can to make this possible!

JasonHill commented 12/11/2007

As a 1991 graduate of the East Cleveland School System and a Beachwood Schools educator, I give my vote to EC. As a HS, college, and graduate student, I ran the Shaw High Summer Swim Program located at the former Shaw Korb Pool, now located under the new Shaw High School rear parking lot. Hundreds of youth participated in the summer swim program and were able to be physically active throughout the year. One of the kids who frequented the pool and was part of our Learn to Swim Program, qualified for the 2008 Olympic Swimming Trials. Another swimmer, Dr. Flounsay Cavers is manager of budgets for RTA. Bryan Bartley is VP of accounting at Nestle Corp. Without recreation; these young men would not be doing the great things they are doing today. While the playground is "not" a swimming pool, a playground "will" allow kids to be kids and to interact with the environment in a wholesome and positive way. Never count an East Cleveland student out!!!

ktolliver commented 12/13/2007

I remember the opportunities afforded to me through East Cleveland Schools and I am greatful. To be able to contribute to such a grand opportunity by simply going on line and voting is a no brainer. Let's forward this information just as quickly as we would a joke or prayer. The only requirements are that you be 13 and older with an email address. Come on people we can make this happen. I charge all alumni of East Cleveland and all current students of East Cleveland with this plea, cast your vote for E.C. Keep in mind young ones it's just as easy to invest in yourself as it is for you to get on my space, facebook, and other chat sites. Those sites are not investing in YOU! East Cleveland Schools are! LET'S DO THIS WE HAVE THE POWER FEEL THE MOTIVATION.

It brings me great joy to see that East Cleveland participating in this grant program.. Play is very important to children, especially a safe place for children to grow ,explore and socialize. We can make this happen by just sharing this imformation with other. If we are excited about it then others will be to. We have not because we aks not. So ask everyone you know or run into, ask them to vote. Pass the word on. Graduate of 86.

My school has a playground and I think all kids should have one. If you kids don't win, you could try to ask the business' in your area to help pay for one. If every parent gave one dollar and every business gave $100 this could happen. Ask your Counsel Person and Mayor for help.

MISS PATTY,

THIS IS A BEAUTIFULLY MADE VIDEO. IT DOES A WONDERFUL JOB IN EXPRESSING THE NEED OF THE CHILDREN OF EAST CLEVELAND FOR A PLAYGROUND.

JayBibb commented 12/21/2007

As a former Educator of East Cleveland City Schools and A product of Mayfair Elementary , I do not need to imagine what these children are feeling. Even when I attended the old Mayfair more than 25 years ago,we had only four swings and a sliding board.We also had a big black top area to play in. I remember falling on that ground so many times and scrapping my knee. Although we didn't have much, we made the best of it.My mother, Mrs.Bibb would surely be an voice leading this campaign as she so loved the children of Mayfair. I hope that our communities efforts does not fall on death ears.This community is in desperate need of uplifting. I still live in East Cleveland right down the street from Mayfair. I was so excited to see the children get a new building but disappointed that there was not a playground built for our children.I ask when you see a child in East Cleveland remember that you were once that child. Remember your school age friends, your favorite teachers. Remember your favorite swing set, sliding board or field day. Remember to lend your hand to help a child that could have been you.

Why do we have over 8,600 views of this video, but less than 2,000 votes!?!?! Come on now people, it only takes about 3 minutes to register and vote. I'm sure that many of you are Cleveland area residents, and some even East Cleveland residents if not formerly. But most of us are aware of East Cleveland's plight, and we know they need the help. I'm a former EC resident as well as a former student of Mayfair Elementary and we need your votes!!!!

As a former resident of EC and graduate of Shaw High School, class of 77, I am excited about this award. It shows that effort and persistence will be rewarded. It is wonderful to see that the community is working toward having spaces for children to play. As a pediatric nurse practitioner, I am well aware of the effects of childhood obesity. Why it is even predicated that many children of this generation will die before their parents as they succumb to diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. Again congratualtions EC, you've made us proud. I hope the media picks up on this like they do the not so flattering events!!!!

chippy commented 01/11/2008

The talent and enthusiasm in EC never ceases to amaze me! I have worked as an artist in the schools for several years and have always told the students that they have a "playground" in EC called East Cleveland Theater, where your imagination is allowed to run free. If we could get all of you and all the talent of these kids in ECT we would be able to have more than 1 or 2 students in our dance and drama classes. Great Video you got my vote!! PS..PLEASE call and support ECT which is right around the cornor in our own community.
