Restocking for Outdoor Recess!

Help me give my students new equipment for outdoor recess to keep them engaged and active!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Vitali's classroom raised $251

My Project

With the weather getting warmer, students are excited to enjoy some time outdoors for recess! Whether it be a ball, frisbee, or sidewalk chalk, recess equipment helps to keep children engaged and active. And, when children have things to keep them engaged and active, there is less downtime for "problem behaviors" to occur!

At this time, our supply of recess equipment is extremely minimal.

With over 100 children enjoying recess at a time, one ball and a few pieces of chalk are hardly enough to keep everyone busy. Will you help expand our selection so more children can benefit?
