When the recess equipment arrived, my students' excitement was contagious. There was cheering, clapping, and an abundance of smiles. They could not wait to take everything outside, and now recess looks completely different. Students organize basketball games, start jump rope challenges, and create their own tournaments with bean bag toss and ring toss. What I love most is seeing kids who often sit out now fully engaged, laughing, and playing with classmates. These materials have given all students the chance to participate, build friendships, and practice teamwork. Your generosity has transformed our recess time into a joyful and inclusive part of the day.","fullyFundedDate":1753654019342,"projectUrl":"project/lets-play-recess-balls-and-games-for-a/9410509/","projectTitle":"Let’s Play!
