Can We Play too?

My students need playground equipment such as basketballs, football, soccer ball, ball and bat and board games.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. M.'s classroom raised $292

This project is fully funded

I teach middle school (grades 6,7 and 8)in an inner-city high-need community in Indiana.

My students love to play outside but since they are "older", they are not allowed to use the playground which is designed for the elementary students. We are all aware of the great need for physical activity and fitness for our students, especially at the pre-teen and young teen age group.

We have very little equipment and it is hard to find things for all of them to do. We need balls: basketballs, footballs, soccer balls, a bat and soft ball, and playground balls. We also would love to have some board games to use when the weather is too bad to go outside.

Would you help us play? You could make it possible for my students to have what they need to become more physically fit and to have fun during their free time. The students and teachers would be very appreciative.
