Help me give my students sports balls for recess! My school doesn't have a playground so I want to help my kids stay active, have fun, and make the most of their limited playtime with quality sports balls!

My Project
Providing footballs, basketballs, soccer balls, and volleyballs will encourage my students to engage in physical activity during recess, helping them stay active, release energy, and improve their overall health and well-being.
These sports balls will allow my students to participate in group games, fostering teamwork, communication, and cooperation—skills that are essential for both academic and personal success.
Since my students do not have a playground, recess is one of the few times they have to be physically active. Supplying them with sports equipment will ensure they can make the most of their break time.
Physical activity has been proven to enhance focus, reduce stress, and improve classroom behavior. By giving students access to sports balls, we are not just providing play opportunities but also supporting their ability to concentrate, engage, and succeed in their studies.
My junior high students are resilient, energetic, and eager to learn. Despite not having a traditional playground or sports equipment, they make the best of every opportunity to stay active. Their enthusiasm and creativity in finding ways to play demonstrate their determination and spirit. With the right resources, they can turn their limited recess time into an opportunity for teamwork, skill-building, and pure joy.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
