It's a Slam Dunk: Recess Needs a Basketball Hoop!

Help me give my students a new basketball hoop! Without more play options during recess and lunch, my students have limited choices to get their energy out during their hard-earned break time.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wang's classroom raised $765

My Students

My third graders started off this school year writing down their hopes and dreams. They have dreams to become veterinarians, doctors, artists, gymnasts, etc. They are filled with the drive to do and be their best, and they all believe that a quality education would get them to achieve this end.

As a Teachers College Reading and Writing Project School, the school immerses the children in a vibrant culture of literacy.

Children can be found reading in the hallways and always carrying a just right book in hand. Not only are children filled with wonder and knowledge as they get lost in a book, children at this developmental age cultivate essential critical thinking and communication skills from a strong literacy foundation that will prepare them to become our future leaders.

My Project

My school's middle yard needs more organized play options during recess and lunch. During a full school day of learning, recess and lunch provides students the only time to have a break to get fresh air, socialize, and get their energy out. Studies show this helps them come back to the classroom even more rejuvenated to learn.

With a new basketball hoop, students can play a quick game during recess to get their energy out, practice sportsmanship, teamwork and make new friends!

This basketball hoop has many great features, such as an acrylic backboard and a sturdy base, that show longevity in a school yard. Let's provide more play options for our students!
