My Project

We are seeking your support to provide essential sporting equipment for our students during recess. Access to items such as balls, jump ropes, and other outdoor games will encourage physical activity, teamwork, and healthy play.

Your generous contribution will foster a more active and engaged school environment, helping students develop important social skills while enjoying their recess time.

Furthermore, regular physical activity is crucial for their overall well-being, promoting not just fitness but also improved focus and academic performance in the classroom.

In addition to enhancing physical health, this equipment will create opportunities for students to learn sportsmanship and cooperation. By engaging in games and activities, they’ll build friendships and cultivate a sense of belonging within our school community. Your support will play a vital role in nurturing a positive and vibrant atmosphere for all students.
