Mrs. L. Bridgeport Elementary School
Hamilton, OH Grades 6-8

Classroom with no parental support is in need of playground activity equipment, specifically jump ropes and balls. The families are not financially able to provide their own.

The playground equipment (slide, jungle gym) is being being torn down because it does not meet safety code requirements. There is no parent group to help fund equipment for the playground. The students have nothing to do while outside. This leads to fights and other problems.

We need playground balls of all sorts and jump ropes to give these wonderful children the opportunity to play. They love sports and I believe that this equipment will be a positive response to losing the slide.

These children have difficult home lives and do without many necessities of life. Your donation will ensure that these students will have what every child should have while on the playground at school. Please give them a chance to play together and build relationships with each other. They will then have the opportunity to get the physical activities they need. Thank you for ANY support you can give. These kids are worth every penny.
