Because of your kindness, more than 100 kindergarteners now enjoy a variety of engaging and exciting toys during recess every single day.\r\n\r\nYour gift has made a meaningful difference. The new toys have allowed our students to spread out more across the playground, making it easier for teachers to supervise while also giving children the freedom to play in ways that best suit their interests. Every day, we see smiles and hear laughter as students dig and build with toy vehicles, create colorful masterpieces with sidewalk chalk, score goals during soccer games, toss frisbees with friends, and so much more.\r\n\r\nThese moments of play are more than just fun—they help children develop social skills, practice teamwork, use their imaginations, and burn off energy so they are ready to return to the classroom focused and refreshed. None of this would have been possible without your generosity.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our students' joy, safety, and growth. You have made recess a time they look forward to each day, and we are deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1749504861953,"projectUrl":"project/let-us-play-recess-toys-for-100-kinder/9274943/","projectTitle":"Let Us Play!

Your kindness has already made a tremendous impact on my young learners, and I wanted to take a moment to let you know just how much your gift means to us.\r\n\r\nThese tablets have opened up a world of opportunities for my preschoolers. In a classroom filled with curious, eager minds—many of whom have limited access to technology at home—having these devices has made learning more accessible, interactive, and exciting. From exploring early literacy apps and math games to engaging in virtual storytimes and music activities, the tablets have become a powerful tool for supporting growth in all areas of development.\r\n\r\nThey also help us meet the needs of different learning styles and allow students to work at their own pace—whether they're practicing letter sounds, identifying colors, or developing fine motor skills through educational games. For our kids in a low-income area, this access is a game changer.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, we're not only learning—we're thriving.
