Our students were so excited to see the new equipment and could not wait to try everything out.

The giant games, parachute, chalk, and other activities give students opportunities to get active, work together, practice teamwork, and have fun outside the classroom.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest impacts has been seeing students who may not always participate in traditional sports find an activity they enjoy. Students are learning how to take turns, communicate, encourage one another, and problem-solve while playing. These resources have helped make recess and outdoor learning more engaging and inclusive for our students.\r\n\r\nWe are excited to continue using these materials throughout the school year for outdoor learning, team-building activities, and special school events. Your generosity has provided our students with more than just games—you have created opportunities for movement, friendship, teamwork, and memories that they will carry with them.
