My Project
Bring Play and Community to our school’s Recess!
In EOEA, our students have a passion for play, but they lack the basic resources to fully enjoy their recess time.
Imagine a schoolyard buzzing with the energy of kids kicking soccer balls, dodging in an exciting game of dodgeball, and creating friendships through shared laughter and fun. Right now, these kids are limited by the absence of playground equipment to fuel their imaginations and physical energy.
With your generous support, we can change that. Our goal is to provide these students with a variety of recess toys—soccer balls, dodgeballs, jump ropes, hula hoops, and more—ensuring they have the tools to engage in active, healthy play that helps them build important social skills, release energy, and strengthen their sense of community. Recess is more than just a break from class; it’s a critical part of growing up, developing friendships, and fostering teamwork.
Why It Matters:
*Physical Activity: Recess is a key opportunity for students to stay active, which is essential for their physical health and well-being.
*Social Skills: Play fosters teamwork, communication, and leadership—skills that students can carry with them into the classroom and beyond.
*Community Building: Having the right toys will create an environment where all students can participate, regardless of background or experience, strengthening bonds among peers and promoting inclusivity.
Our students are ready to run, jump, and play—they just need the tools to make it happen. Your donation will give them more than just toys—it will give them the chance to grow, bond, and enjoy the childhood they deserve. Let’s help them build memories, friendships, and skills that will last a lifetime.
Thank you for your support in making play a possibility for every child at our school!
