Sports Equipment Fun

Help me give my students more equipment to be able to use during lunch/recess. This equipment will give my students a chance to burn off energy and have fun with peers.

My Project

The goal is to give my students more opportunities to exercise, work together, and have fun. With the additional equipment students will be able to have more games going ant possible interact with others they may not have played with before.

The sports equipment will allow students to engage in teamwork while participating in a game with their peers.

This is a value many of our students need to work on and being able to practice in the school setting with an educator to guide them is a key for their future.

Often my students do not have access to this equipment within their community or home so being able to use the equipment and learn the skills at our school is a must.
