My Project
We are a Title I school and are in a run-down school. The students are all free lunch and come from a poor area. They don't have much but will give you all they have. We are finally getting a new school after many years of waiting. We have had a tiny playground due to construction for the past two years and the kids have nothing to play with. We have bought balls out of our own pockets, but they go over the fence due to the small area they have to play on and aren't returned to us. The new school will be ready after Christmas time of this year, but they still will have no equipment to play with on their new playground.
My students are amazing and resilient.
They work hard every day and they don't complain about their small playground or the daily problems. I would love to surprise them with new outdoor equipment when we get to the new school so that they can utilize their new play area and be rewarded for their hard work. Please help me give my hard working kids equipment to let loose and have fun.
