My Project

My students earn time to go outside and play games. The sports items you provide my class will help them play games together, building social connections with each other as well as learning how to have good sprotsmanship.

Playing games outside is the carrot that many of my students need to help them focus during classtime.

Middle school students at my school only have a 30 minute lunch during the day to eat and play with their friends. Students really need more time to be outside playing games and running around. The sports equipment you provide will be a very welcome addition to our time outside that students earn.
