Who We Are and the Need:

We love Nan Clayton Elementary! However, we have all seen or heard from students about the poor conditions of the outdoor recreational areas. The dirt field, the uneven dirt trail aka track, rundown playground equipment  - just to name a few - have deteriorated to a point that's unsafe. We can do far better for our children. 


Three Clayton working parents formed CLIP to help improve the condition and safety of Nan Clayton Elementary School’s campus and support our children’s social skills and physical education....yet we need more parent involvement to make this happen!


Our goal is to meet the PE and recreational needs of our students, as well as serve after-school, special event and community needs.  Clayton is a close-knit community and frequently spend time together at our school for events throughout the year from the annual Fun Run to the Carnival. Our dear PE teachers have challenges accommodating daily PE classes for over 600 students due to the poor conditions that continue to deteriorate. Imagine a revitalized school community space where students, teachers and parents can enjoy the outdoors together.

The Solution

In 2023, the PTA generously allocated $13,000 of total net proceeds earned from Clayton Rocks! Spring Event to kick-off this project. We agreed that going forward, CLIP is a separate 501(c)3 fundraising organization solely dedicated to Clayton's outdoor recreational areas. Why? This is to address long-term capital improvements and will require tremendous effort, time and resources from our community.  

Long-Term Goals with Largest Capital Requirements:

  •  Install proper drainage solutions to prevent unsafe drainage conditions and erosion issues around the playground. This will divert water, mud, and soil away from the playground and gaga pit.


  • Level the dirt field and playground area to support proper drainage and prevent future erosion


  • Replace current dirt field with grass OR artificial turf, if allowed by City of Austin/AISD


  • Repair and install sprinkler system on back of campus and dirt field


  • Add gravel track around back of campus


  • Add water refill station


  • Replace gaga pit 


We will continue to update this site with all progress made...we want to be transparent every step of the way.

Help Our Cause - Donate Today!

Every little bit counts! All contributions will be allocated solely to this project and are tax deductible. 


To begin construction, it simply comes down to raising the money... We understand that not all Clayton families may have the capability to give at the level that matches their desire to help, but we would ask that everyone give what they are able to.
