Keeping Our Students Moving & Healthy

Help me give my students some fun recess equipment and some materials to stay healthy during this winter season.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Cotto-Rios's classroom raised $460

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am planning to use these materials in a variety of ways! My students need equipment to play with during recess. The different sports balls accommodate a wide range of interest and the jump rope allows a few students to play at once. The puzzles will be used for indoor recess when it rains or it is too cold to outside.

Materials are needed to keep our students on track!

We as asking for tissues and hand sanitizer to keep our students stocked for the cold weather. We want to provide as much as we can. We also need to stock up on post it notes, staples and other materials so we can show case our work around the classroom and hallways!
