My Project

Our students love to play during recess time and many of them are invested in practicing their favorite sport with their friends. These items will allow students to play basketball, soccer and other activities during recess time. Many of our students are English language learners and they use recess time to do something they already love that crosses language barriers with new friends.

Physical activity is an important part of our students' education.

They will really enjoy having new equipment on the playground. We will also use these new materials to help teach our students responsibility. They will be responsible for making sure that our equipment is taken care of and brought inside the school everyday.
