My Project

Our first Grade students work hard- that means they also play hard!

They love getting outside and using the equipment to play football, basketball, soccer, and more!

Learning how to read is hard work and having these options on the playground helps our students to have such a positive outlet to expel some of that energy they need to burn off! We have a huge area so at any given recess we have multiple games going, and the students just absolutely love it! Our balls have started to wear down so this would help the incoming students so much!
