My Project

Our playground equipment is very well loved. We have inflated the balls quite often. My students look forward to going outside and playing soccer and basketball with their friends. They also love Ga-Ga ball and running around the cones! My girls also love to play with jump ropes. Our school is a very high performing school, so our students work really hard.

I'd love to provide my students with a variety of new balls and new playground toys so they can go have fun at recess after working so hard in the classroom.

My students work really hard all day long. Please consider helping my students.
