Recess Equipment

Help me give my students an enjoyable recess in our very rural setting.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Taylor's classroom raised $569

This project is fully funded

My Project

My school district is located in a very rural part of Colorado. We enjoy recess like most students, but we have been struggling lately.

Our playground is filled with goathead stickers, so we go through balls quickly.

The students have to race each other to get the ball that they would like because we have so few, and all of them have to be pumped back up at the beginning of each recess.

My students are kind-hearted, hard-working kiddos who deserve the world. I love that they are so kind-hearted, hard-working, and active! We would love to have just a little more to help us get our wiggles out!
