Sports Equipment for Building Friendships and Fun
Funded Aug 15, 2024Our school is home to a vibrant and diverse group of students who come from various backgrounds. Despite the differences in their personal lives, our students share a common love for play and social interaction. Our goal is to provide our students with the necessary recess equipment to engage in active play, foster new friendships, and promote physical health and social skills. We aim to create an inclusive and safe environment where students can thrive by replacing our current outdated and insufficient recess equipment.
Recess is a critical time for them to build friendships, learn teamwork, and develop physical skills.
To make recess a time of excitement and growth, we need the following equipment: sports balls and carrying bag (soccer balls, basketballs, and footballs), kickball bases, parachute with handles, Slam Ball set, as well as reusable gel ice packs and bandages.
With this new equipment, we will be able to organize a variety of games and activities that cater to all students' interests and abilities. The sports balls will encourage traditional team sports, the kickball bases will facilitate structured kickball games, the parachute will provide collaborative fun, and the slam ball set will introduce a new, exciting game. Additionally, having gel packs and bandages readily available will allow us to manage minor injuries promptly, ensuring that students can return to play safely.”
