Cloverdale Realtor Scott Moe doesn't have any kids who attend A.J. McLellan Elementary.

But he readily offered to match up to $2,500 in donations to the school's recent coin drive. The school's parent advisory council is raising money for what's been dubbed a community playground project.

The west Cloverdale school, located at 16545 61 Avenue, is surrounded by families in a booming residential with hundreds more townhomes on the way in the next few years.

It's already grown to a student population of 500 in just 10 years, and two years ago saw an eight-classroom expansion. The playground and school field – popular with students and residents alike – is due for its third expansion in a decade.

Moe views the school's outdoor assets as an important local amenity.

“I thought this was a good cause, because everyone uses the park,” he says.

“It benefits everyone that lives around here, and the kids, of course, use it. It’s a good way to spend some money,” he smiles, adding he hopes his involvement will spur other businesses to invest in school fundraising projects including this one.
