My Project

Our students come from an urban community where oftentimes they do not have the opportunity to play outdoors in fields of grass making the educational environment the only place that provides a space for our students to free play. Currently our students have no outdoor equipment making recess full of imagination. During our winter months students are expected to contain their free play in the walls of the classroom, with a lack of resources I would like to create an area that allows my students to play games and relax outside the content setting. Help bring recess to an under privilege community.
