My Project

I'm hoping to get this equipment for my students to use on Field Day this year! They are always excited to play of Tug of War, but my rope from last year has been frayed so much to make it dangerous to hold on to. 3rd graders and up will get to use to 50' rope, and the 2nd grade and under will get to use the 25' rope. Having ropes to suit different sizes of kids is important for their safety and effectiveness of the equipment.

With this equipment, students will get to work cooperatively to be successful in a team setting!

Students love games where they get to work with each other, and there is none better than the game this equipment helps to provide. Our students will be thrilled to hear when this donation is filled!! Thank you for your support of our Howe students!
