As an educator, one of my top priorities is ensuring that my students not only excel academically, but also have opportunities to thrive emotionally and socially. Unfortunately, due to the lack of a playground at our school, my students often miss out on the active, outdoor play that so many others take for granted during recess.
That’s where I need your help.
I’m hoping to raise funds to purchase games and activities for our indoor recess time. With your generous support, I can provide a variety of fun, engaging games that will keep my students active, entertained, and connected, even when the weather keeps us inside.
Why is this so important? During indoor recess, students are eager to have some fun and take a break from their lessons. Having a selection of exciting board games, building toys, and creative activities can help foster teamwork, critical thinking, and just a bit of joy in their day. It’s an opportunity for them to bond, laugh, and re-energize for the rest of their studies.
Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward enriching my students' indoor recess experience and ensuring that they have the tools to enjoy their breaks in a meaningful way through Donors Choose. Your support means the world to us, and it’s something that will make a lasting impact on my students’ overall well-being and enjoyment at school.
Thank you for considering helping our classroom! Together, we can make sure every student gets to enjoy playtime, rain or shine.
