First Grade Recess Fun

Help me give my students equipment for recess to encourage sports and movement.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Harper's classroom raised $235

My Project

Our students love to play and run during recess time. They want to play soccer or basketball every time we are outside, but we rely on students bringing their own equipment to play.

We want to create a bag of sports equipment for our first graders that is equipped with balls and more to keep them engaged and active during their outside time.

This project will create a reliable way for our students to have the things they need to continue to create community with each other through sports, and it will encourage them to stay active!
