New Gear, New Energy: Transforming PE/Recess for Our Students

Help me give my students new PE and recess equipment. For several years now, they have only received used/donated equipment. This will make a world of difference for our PE curriculum and also make recess more enjoyable!

My Project

What I love most about my students is their energy and determination. They bring excitement and teamwork to every activity, no matter the circumstances. My students come to school every day ready to move, play, and learn—but the equipment they rely on has always been secondhand. Even with limited resources, they encourage one another, celebrate small victories, and give their best effort. Their positivity and resilience inspire me daily—and they deserve equipment that matches their enthusiasm.

For years, our PE and recess materials have been a mix of worn-out balls, incomplete sets, and mismatched supplies.

While we’ve made it work, these limitations often mean students have to wait their turn, miss out on full participation, or use equipment that no longer functions as it should.

With new PE and recess equipment, every student will have more opportunities to be active and engaged. Items like balls, cones, jump ropes, and game sets will allow us to run small-group activities and skill stations, increasing participation and reducing downtime. Students will build coordination, teamwork, communication skills, and confidence through structured play and cooperative games.

These resources will also create a more inclusive environment where all students—regardless of skill level—feel comfortable joining in. New, reliable equipment helps ensure safety while making activities more enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

By supporting this project, you’re doing more than providing equipment—you’re helping create a space where students can develop healthy habits, build friendships, and experience the joy of movement. For many of my students, school is the primary place they have access to safe and structured physical activity. Your support will make a lasting difference in their daily lives.
