Sports Equipment For All

Funded Jan 18, 2022

My students are loving all of the new sports equipment! Seeing their faces when I unboxed the new equipment was truly a special day. Not only were they excited to see new footballs and soccer balls, but they were extra excited and intrigued to see the kickballs and jump ropes. This equipment gave many students the chance to learn about games and forms of exercise that were completely new to them.

Every day, weather permitting, I take the students outside into the schoolyard during their lunch period. During those important times, students interact and play with each other. They are given a chance to disconnect from all of the stressors of the normal school day and just have fun with children their own ages.

Students from all different backgrounds are able to participate in games using this equipment, including English language learners who are new to the country. The equipment allows them to interact with their peers using the universal language of sports.

My students and I sincerely thank you for all of your generous contributions to this project! Your donations have made school a more enjoyable experience for the students at our school. Your kindness is truly appreciated.”

With gratitude,

Mr. Magrino
