My Project

At WE Middle School, our students are full of energy, curiosity, and school pride! They come from diverse backgrounds and work hard every day. Many of our students don’t have access to sports equipment or outdoor playtime outside of school. Hence, recess and special events like Field Day are critical to their social-emotional and physical development. They deserve to run, jump, play, and experience the joy of teamwork and healthy competition.

I’m requesting high-quality, durable sports equipment like soccer goals and a basketball system to enhance our annual Field Day and daily recess routines.

Students in grades Pre-K through 8 will use these items to engage in structured games and free play that build motor skills, confidence, and community spirit. These materials will allow us to run multiple engaging game stations during Field Day and sustain daily physical activity throughout the year.

This equipment supports physical wellness, creativity, and collaborative play. It will help reduce behavior issues by providing positive outlets and structured fun. Most importantly, it brings smiles, laughter, and lifelong memories. Your donation means more than buying equipment—it gives our kids the freedom to move, compete, and grow. Thank you for helping us build a vibrant, joyful school culture through play!
