My Project

Our students cherish their recess time, and we aim to enhance it further by introducing a range of engaging outdoor equipment. Recess is crucial not only for a break from academics but also for fostering social skills, teamwork, and physical activity. Currently, our outdoor equipment is quite limited, and we want to provide more options that will encourage children to move, play, and interact positively with their peers. By adding soccer nets, wiffle ball sets, toss and catch sets, and basketballs to our outdoor play area, we hope to offer students a variety of activities that cater to different interests and abilities. These new additions will provide opportunities for competitive soccer matches, fun toss-and-catch games, and friendly basketball shoot-arounds, ensuring that every student finds something they enjoy during recess.

Physical activity is essential for children's health and well-being, and recess is the perfect time to foster this.

Your support will allow us to create a more dynamic and engaging outdoor environment that promotes physical fitness and social interaction. By backing this project, you will help us create a positive and fun space where students can build friendships, release energy, and return to the classroom refreshed and ready to learn. We appreciate your consideration and generosity in supporting this initiative to enhance our students' outdoor recess experience.
