Help! We Don't Have A Playground

Help me give my students playground equipment to help keep them healthy and active!

My Project

Hi and welcome to preschool! I love the students and the school I teach at, however there is one thing I would change. We have a playground that our students aren't able to use. We play outside everyday and the students see it and know they can't play on it. They are so good about it, so we wanted to get them some new toys to play with to keep them engaged and active. These toys would keep their minds off the playground and make them excited about our playspace.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
