My Project

Impact on Learning: The requested recess equipment will enhance our students’ physical and social development. Regular physical activity during recess improves focus, reduces stress, and boosts overall well-being. It encourages teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

Project Goals: Our goal is to create a vibrant and inclusive recess environment where every student can engage in active play.

By providing equipment like balls, jump ropes, and outdoor games, we aim to foster a sense of belonging, promote healthy habits, and enhance their overall school experience.

Special Students: Our students are resilient, curious, and full of potential. Despite facing economic challenges, they bring unique perspectives and talents to our school community. Their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn make them truly special. With your support, we can create a joyful and enriching recess experience for them!
