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
It is hard to believe a soccer ball, football, jump ropes or even a four-square ball can unite kids. Our students love to go outside and play during recess. Our playground provides a space for our students to play with their friends and have FUN! Yet, we need playground equipment for our kindergarten through 2nd graders to play with. Due to the pandemic, we have noticed that our students need more movement and interaction with their peers. Our kindergarten through second graders are amazing kids and they brighten our days. One way that we can brighten their day is to provide them with things to do outside. Playing outside is a post-pandemic priority for our kids. The donations to this project will help to improve our students' social skills. We truly need your support to make this a reality. Thank you!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
