My Project

Hello friends and supporters, As a 4th grade teacher, I see every day how much my students thrive when they get the chance to move, play, and build friendships outside of the classroom.

Recess isn’t just “free time” — it’s a crucial part of their development, helping them learn teamwork, problem-solving, and healthy ways to release energy so they can return to class focused and ready to learn.

Right now, our playground is missing some of the most basic supplies like balls, jump ropes, and other equipment that make recess exciting and inclusive for everyone. With your help, I can give my students the tools they need to stay active, engaged, and joyful during their breaks.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will directly impact my kids’ daily experience and help create memories they’ll carry for years to come. Thank you for believing in their joy, health, and growth.
