My Project
Help us make recess even more fun and engaging! We’re currently looking for donations of balls, jump ropes, and a parachute to support our students during outdoor play.
Recess is more than just a break in the day—it’s a vital time for movement, creativity, and connection.
The Champion Deluxe Inflatable Sports Pump will help us keep our recess equipment in great shape! With daily use, balls often lose air and become too flat to bounce or throw properly. This pump will allow us to quickly and easily inflate playground balls, basketballs, soccer balls, and more—ensuring students always have access to safe, fully functional equipment.
Having this tool on hand means we can maintain our materials throughout the year without having to replace them as often, saving money and keeping playtime running smoothly for our students.
Outdoor play helps children build coordination, strengthen gross motor skills, and learn how to cooperate, share, and resolve conflicts. Tools like jump ropes, playground balls, and parachutes encourage teamwork, laughter, and healthy physical activity.
These items make a big difference in helping children reset, regulate, and return to class ready to learn.
If you’re able to donate any of these items—or contribute toward purchasing them—your generosity will go a long way in supporting our young learners’ development and well-being.
More than half of students from low‑income households
