My Project

Every day, my students look forward to recess—a time to unwind, get active, and build friendships. But our outdoor playtime is limited by a lack of equipment. We need recess balls and games that encourage movement, teamwork, and fun!

With your help, I’d like to provide my students with soccer balls, basketballs, jump ropes, playground balls, and a few classic outdoor games like bean bag toss and ring toss.

These materials will give all students a chance to participate, build social skills, and stay physically active. My students are energetic, creative, and full of life. They thrive when given opportunities to engage in structured and unstructured play. Many come from diverse backgrounds and benefit from inclusive activities that bring them together.
