My Project

Please help give our 3rd-5th graders access to new a new playground game that will inspire team building and help students run off some steam. Students at our school are often from low-socioeconomic families and do not have access to playing on sports teams. This project will help give access to sports supplies that these students normally do not have access to. Our kids currently are using a shoe to mark the goal lines and I would love to surprise them with these. They will be so happy and grateful to access tools that other schools already have.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
