A Place to Play, Learn, and Thrive

Help me give my students outdoor equipment in order to improve gross motor skills and socialization. It will help them communicate and develop team work skills while having tons of fun. Students will look forward to outside time.

My Project

As of right now, my students don't have the necessary sports equipment to engage in physical activity during their recess time. They instead sit around and occasionally color.

These items that we are requesting will help bring the students to life again and give them an opportunity to play with each other while building on their communication skills and team building.

We have added sports equipment for all levels of students in order for them all to have something to play and engage with. My students are noticeably more engaged and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of sports equipment to play with.
