My Project

Students will be able to go outside and use different sport balls and equipment especially during testing days to release energy and enjoy cooperative team games.

Since middle school can be tense for students, this is a way to get them to work together and get along and build relationships.

Games like football, basketball, soccer, and volleyball are a fan favorite at the school and allowing them to have more balls to play with partners to work on skills can be enjoyable for all so they don’t have to fight over the balls!
