My Project

At our Pre-K Center, we try to get our students outdoors to play as much as possible. We have 15 3K & Pre-K classes in our building, which makes scheduling hard at times for outdoor play, but we do our best to get outside frequently. One of our outdoor issues is that we have no areas that offer shade in our outdoor playground area, which is why I am requesting several sun shades that could be attached to equipment and fences to offer students areas that are out of the sunlight to play outside.

I am also hoping to get some new equipment for students to help teach about physical fitness and well-being.

My students would benefit from having additional items like tunnels for stations to set up outside for play.
