My Project

Please help us obtain new balls for our playground. Our district has mandated 30 minutes of recess each day which will increase the amount of time on the playground for many students. We want to ensure that the students have adequate equipment to make recess engaging and let them participate in several different sports. This will help build their social connections and keep them moving throughout recess to ensure they receive the full benefit of the extra play time. We have found far fewer social disturbances when students are actively participating in sports.
