My Project

Hi!

I am a Literacy Teacher in West Haven, and also in charge of 1st grade recess at the school.

Our students love recess and we could really use some new equipment so we can burn off some energy and come back into school ready to learn. Jump ropes and hula hoops and dodgeballs would be great! I am starting to teach some of the first graders basketball basics, so new basketballs would be great too! These new pieces of equipment would make recess much more organized and have something for the students to look forward to on a daily basis. This new equipment would be utilized by the whole K-4 school.
