Help me give my students basketballs, volleyballs, jump ropes, and other equipment to use at recess on the playground.

My Project

Our students love to be outside any playing! They love to have equipment to use during recess that keeps them active and moving. Unfortunately, our equipment often gets lost of broken through out the the year.

I am asking for new basketballs, volleyballs and jump ropes that can be used during recess.

Having new equipment will allow us to place some equipment out now, and to have some for later in the year. Right now our students are using handballs to play basketball, and it would be so much better to have the correct ball. Additionally, several students have asked for jump ropes, so I am excited to get them.
