My Project

We are a charter school that does not currently have a playground where students are able to release their energy. We currently only have a designated area outside of our school where students can run and play games.

The intention of this project is to help our students gain recess supplies for their time outside.

The items that are on our list will help students have a fun and successful recess.

Included in the project are footballs, soccer balls, soccer nets, chalk, jump ropes, hop scotch, and scoop and toss.

Our students deserve to have an amazing time outside with supplies in which they can use to release their energy and better focus during the day.

Grades 3-5
