Please help us service our elementary building and the surrounding community by upgrading out playground with a Gaga ball pit. As a new addition to our playground, this Gaga ball pit will help service over 470 students within our building. All students, even those wheelchair bound, will be able to partake in this fun, engaging ball game. By having a fun, energetic, and engaging source of physical activity our students will be able to return to the classroom ready to learn. Recess is a necessary activity for student development. Not only are they socializing but they are problem solving and becoming independent thinkers. They are exploring their world and are being physically active. Recess is a welcomed break from the constant video games and TV watching.
