My Project

Our students thrive when they can engage in physical activity and play. Recess is a vital part of their day, where they can socialize, burn off energy, and develop critical motor skills. However, many grade levels lack essential sports equipment, limiting the student's ability to enjoy this time fully.

With your support, we aim to provide each grade level with recreational items like basketballs, footballs, kickballs, and chalk.

This equipment will allow students to engage in catch, creative games, and artistic expression during recess. By equipping each grade level with its own set, we can ensure that all students have consistent access to the materials they need for a fun and active break.

Easy access to this equipment will boost their physical activity and enhance their social and emotional well-being. Your generous contribution will directly impact our students, giving them the tools they need to play, grow, and have fun together every day. Thank you for considering our project and helping us bring more joy and movement to our school!
