My Project

If my project is funded, I will use the equipment to increase social skills at recess. The students work so very hard during school day and they deserve to enjoy their recess.

Currently, the students only have a playground to play on but many of the kids would love to have other options.

The students will enjoy playing with a variety of items while taking a break from the rigorous classwork. They will be able to create games with the equipment while getting lots of exercise. The equipment would encourage the students to work together and increase sportsmanship.
