My Project

Our goal is to foster the holistic development of our students by encouraging not only physical fitness but also vital social-emotional skills such as cooperation, communication, teamwork, and conflict resolution. Engaging in structured and unstructured outdoor play allows students to build strong bodies while also learning to navigate group dynamics, develop empathy, and form healthy relationships.

For this project, we are requesting outdoor equipment including soccer balls, volley balls, jump ropes, skip-its, frisbees and more.

With access to these resources, our students will have meaningful opportunities to engage in inclusive, active play during recess that promotes wellness and emotional growth. Thank you!

Ms. Lyke Klatt Elementary School Grades 3-5
