Equipment to Stay Active at Recess

Help me give my students basketballs, soccer balls, hula hoops, and jump ropes to enjoy active, fun-filled recess and build teamwork skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Cole's classroom raised $513

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I love how energetic, curious, and social my students will be! They thrive when they have the chance to move, play, and work together. Recess is more than just a break—it’s a time for building friendships, learning teamwork, and developing important social and motor skills.

The basketballs, soccer balls, hula hoops, and jump ropes will give my students fun, structured options that keep them active and engaged.

These resources will help them return to the classroom focused, refreshed, and ready to learn.

Thanks in advance for each and every item.
