Let's Play! Footballs and Soccer Balls

Help me give my students footballs, soccer balls, and toss and catch sets to get physically active during our day.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Livingstone's classroom raised $222

My Project

I am requesting footballs, soccer balls, and several toss and catch kits for my students to use during the school day to promote fitness. Getting active is a great way to burn off anxiety while building friendships and community. These balls will allow my students to spend fifteen minutes each day learning a bit more about each other as they do something that is good for their physical and mental fitness.

Please help provide my seventh grade students with some simple sports equipment so that they can feel better overall as they spend time at school.

Thank you.

Ms. Livingstone Brogden Middle School Grades 6-8
