Recess Fun!

Help me give my students new recess equipment for our upcoming school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Quimby's classroom raised $171

My Project

Please help us get new equipment to use at recess. At our Middle School we do not have a designated playground area, so we are always looking for fun activities for our students to do during their recess time.

By funding this project you will be helping to purchase new sporting equipment for our students to use at recess.

This equipment will be available to 160+ students during our daily recess time.

Thank you in advance for your support to our classroom. My students and I are very appreciative of all you do to support us.
