Help me give my students playground equipment to facilitate group activities and social development!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Zirkel's classroom raised $504
This project is fully funded
My Project
Contrary to common belief, middle school kids DO need a mind and body break! What better time to do this AND build social development than during lunch with their friends?
With your donation, you will help us to provide playground equipment to facilitate structured group activities all while promoting positive social relationships.
We currently have one lone football and would love to surprise our students with a new supply of equipment, including toss and catch and a variety of balls. Your support of this project will allow us to bring movement to their day, an essential part of the mental rejuvenation of their academic day!
Nearly all 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
