My Project

Preschool is happening at BPS and I need some help equipping the outdoor area. The budget covered everything inside, but our playground is limited to the elementary playground and a lot of the items are too big for my students. These items will give my 4 year olds something else to do outside.

My students will eventually need some big play equipment, but this will get us started and is greatly appreciated.

If you'd like to donate bigger items: slide, climbing wall, basketball hoop, swings, etc. that would be great too.

Outdoor play is very important for mental health, childhood obesity, cooperative play and problem solving.
