From Flat to Fun: New Playground Balls for Every Student!
Help me give my students playground balls that are actually round! With fresh equipment, recess can go from “meh” to “amazing,” giving every kid a chance to play, laugh, and shine!

My Project
Recess is a magical time for students to recharge, make memories, and have fun. But at our school, our playground equipment has seen better days—our balls are worn out, deflated, and shaped more like eggs than circles! As a first-grade teacher, I see firsthand how recess brings joy and teamwork to my students, but I also know it’s hard to play soccer or basketball when the equipment doesn’t cooperate.
This project will provide new, high-quality playground balls, a storage cart and other equipment that will benefit all of our students, from energetic kindergartners to our amazing fifth graders.
With your support, our kids can enjoy active, engaging games during recess, helping them develop teamwork, stay healthy, and return to class refreshed and ready to learn.
Your donation will help us replace outdated, unusable equipment with tools that foster creativity, social growth, and endless fun. Let’s make recess the best part of the day for every student!
More than half of students from low‑income households
