A Break From Work, Recess

Help me give my students recess equipment to enjoy while playing outside with their friends at recess. In order for students to have a productive recess, they need equipment. Otherwise, they will simply walk and talk.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Parker's classroom raised $433

This project is fully funded

My Project

Playground equipment will give them the means to play all the games they miss playing, like kickball, catch, jump rope, soccer, and basketball.

After their hard work in the classroom, recess stimulates their mind so that they are able to have a productive rest of the day.

As well, with the proper playground equipment, they will be able to play the games they love to play competitively and for pleasure.

Not having an opportunity for productive, structured play creates the perfect avenue for negative interactions. With footballs, basketballs, and other recess equipment, this will be eliminated.
