My Project

Recess is a crucial part of our students' day, providing them with the opportunity to be active, build social skills, and return to the classroom refreshed and ready to learn. Unfortunately, our current recess equipment is limited, and many of our students struggle to find ways to stay engaged and active during their break. Jump ropes, basketballs, playground balls, and flying discs will encourage physical activity, teamwork, and creativity during recess. A storage cart will help keep our new equipment organized and easily accessible for all students.

Jump ropes will help students develop coordination, balance, and cardiovascular fitness while engaging in fun and challenging activities.

Basketballs and playground balls will foster teamwork, communication, and strategic thinking as students engage in group games that enhance their social and motor skills. Flying discs will promote hand-eye coordination, cooperation, and outdoor engagement through interactive play. The storage cart will ensure that all equipment remains in good condition, is easily accessible, and encourages responsibility among students by keeping items organized.

Your support will make a lasting impact on our students by promoting healthy habits, encouraging active play, and fostering social development.
