Recess Refresh

Help me give my students the ability to be able to get their energy out during lunch with appropriate sports equipment so they can thrive during class.

My Project

The items I am requesting are going to make a difference in student learning because it gives the students the ability to burn energy in the appropriate environment and be able to focus back in class. Currently, the equipment the students have to use outside has deteriorated to the point that the equipment is no longer useful. I am talking about soccer balls with the inner ball coming out, footballs with no laces, and basketballs that might stay inflated on a good day. This project can also benefit the students in my class because it gives the ability to learn how to run tournaments and see how complicated that can be. With your help, you can give my students the correct equipment they need to succeed.
