We were able to borrow the air pump from our PE teacher and the students each were able to air one up. They were so excited to go and play. California has issued a \"no cell phone\" policy so now you can go out onto the black top and see students having conversations and playing football or soccer together. Its the greatest 90's relived moment ever. This gear will keep my students active, engaged and allow them to contine being kids. Thank you once again for your kindness and generosity.
