"My third graders are active eight year olds in the middle of a busy city. Although we don't have a grassy field, we use our pavement well every day! With budget cuts to our district and state, we have zero funds for playground equipment. We also have popped our balls and have only two left. We love recess and PE lessons, and we want to get out and get active.

Without funds for PE equipment and the need for physical education, activity, and healthy lifestyles, we are left to twiddle our thumbs. We need to get out and moving so that we can have healthy bodies and minds.

We need a set of playground balls including bouncy balls, a kickball, and soccer ball. We also need some other fun activities like hula hoops, bean bags, and sensory balls for indoor play on rainy days. This equipment will allow us to continue our invaluable PE lessons and enjoy recess to the fullest. That way, back inside the classroom, we will be ready to learn and hit the books!

You will make it possible for my students to learn in and out of doors with your donation. We will be thrilled beyond belief to get moving and be active, healthy, and to have fun. Thank you for your support. HIDE

My students need a set of playground balls, a sturdy kickball and soccer ball, and sensory balls for play indoors on rainy days. The cost of this proposal is $336, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment ?."
