I love how energetic, curious, and enthusiastic my students are. Every day, they come to school ready to learn, play, and support one another. Their laughter and excitement during recess show just how important physical activity is to their development—not just physically, but socially and emotionally too.
The new playground balls will help my students stay active and engaged during recess and PE.
With updated equipment, they’ll be able to safely enjoy games like kickball, basketball, soccer, four square, and dodgeball—activities that promote teamwork, coordination, and healthy movement. These resources will encourage inclusion and participation for all students, helping them build confidence, friendships, and a love for being active.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
