My students need utility balls and scoops. My school does not have any budget for PE. We are in need of some major equipment. Ours is falling apart and not in good shape.

My Students
I teach elementary physical education in a multi-culturally diverse and socioeconomically disadvantaged urban neighborhood. I have kids from all walks of life, mostly African-American, Caucasian, and Hispanic.
When I first walked into my equipment closet, I noticed the school was in need of many items.
The school budget is tight and there isn't much left for equipment.
My students come from many types of homes (broken, single-parent, raised by relatives and foster students). When they come to my class, I want them to leave our school remembering all of the fun they had in physical education class and how much wonderful equipment they were given the chance to use and knowing that fitness and physical activity is fun.
My Project
I can use the utility balls and scoops in many ways. During cooperative learning, you often need to work together to carry a utility ball between 2 students, using only their back, hip, feet and so on. This will expand my capabilities in the classroom and introduce a larger and new range of activities and games that require utility balls. Please help my students get the equipment they so desperately need for a better PE class.
I need scoops for the younger ones to work on gross and fine motor skills.
These scoops will give me the ability to help develop our younger students' developmental needs.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
