My Project

I am requesting outdoor equipment for my 2nd graders who will no longer have a playground to play on. We are getting a brand new school built. So in order to build the school the playground will have to be ripped up. That means my students will not have access to a playground.

I am asking for items that will keep them excited, engaged, and build repoitre with classmates, such as basketballs, soccer balls, chalk etc.My students come from low income families and many of these students look forward to recess so that they can unwind, and be free.

I would love to give them something that they can do besides just walk around. These items would be used daily and I know tha the students will be excited to use them!
