Elevate Recess: Help Us Elevate Play With Balls and Chalk!

Help me give my students new balls and chalk to enhance their recess experience.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Juszczak's classroom raised $160

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our students' playground is on a rotation schedule, meaning that some weeks they do not have access to it for recess. This can lead to missed opportunities for active play and social interaction during their break times.

With these supplies, I aim to keep the kids actively playing and creatively engaged even when the playground is off-limits.

To ensure that every recess is fun and engaging, regardless of playground availability, I am launching this campaign to provide new balls and chalk for my students.

Your support will help us enrich their recess experience by offering exciting alternatives that promote physical activity and imaginative play. Every contribution brings us closer to creating a dynamic and enjoyable recess environment for our students, no matter where they are.

Thank you for helping us make recess a time of joy and movement for every child!
