Help me give my students a time to move, connect, and reset for learning. Materials like basketballs, volleyballs, jump ropes, and playground balls to give our students more ways to stay active and build social skills.
Our students are energetic, kind, and full of life. They come to school with big hearts and a strong desire to connect, learn, and grow.
Recess is one of their favorite times of day—it’s where friendships are built, teamwork is practiced, and smiles come naturally.
Unfortunately, our current supply of equipment is limited and worn, leaving many students without something active to do.
With new basketballs, volleyballs, jump ropes, and playground balls, every child will have a chance to play, move, and feel included. These simple items will support not just physical health, but also emotional well-being, cooperation, and confidence. I love how our students look out for one another and include everyone—and with your help, they’ll have the tools they need to keep doing just that. This project is about more than recess—it’s about belonging, joy, and giving kids the freedom to just be kids.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
