Giving Students the Best Possible Recess and PE Experience

Help me give my students plenty of equipment and choices for enjoying recess time as well as PE class.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Mahnke's classroom raised $2,178

My Project

Our students really enjoy their PE time and recess experience. Adding these supplies will make both of those time periods even more enjoyable, engaging and exciting.

Some of this equipment will bring brand new experiences to the students.

They will learn new games and be able to customize these games to their age-level and experience.

Some of the other equipment will greatly benefit students to learn new games and also help reinforce prior experiences.

This equipment will help add another positive layer to our PE program.

Thank you for considering.
