Help me give my students the tools to help organize and take care of our recess equipment.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

We would like to help our students during recess by having the equipment better organized. The use of the cart will make the equipment more accessible for students during this time. The cart will also help with the organization of the equipment for the adults who are monitoring the students and the equipment. The pump will be place in the area where the equipment is stored while not at recess. This will allow the people running recess to easily inflate equipment as the school year continues. This gift would allow all involved in recess to be more organized during our recess times.
