My Students

Here at my school, the students work really hard to go above and beyond in the classroom. They love being in school, love their teachers, and love their classrooms. What could be better? Recess equipment!

How much fun do you see city kids having when they are outside?

Your donation today would help our students get the break they deserve during their recess and scheduled breaks throughout the day. Help our students go further faster with the gift of energy releasing equipment.

My Project

Hard work and no play makes a students classroom progress drift away! Our goal is to raise enough funding to allow our 450 student body to have the recess and brain breaks they deserve. Students can only get creative in an empty field for so long. Having a simple playground ball allows our students to play kickball, soccer, catch, bowling, etc letting their imaginations run wild to the sport they long to play. Even a simple hula hoop can take a child from a typical blank space to an imaginary train station, gymnastics arena, or circus.

Helping a child to go further faster not only helps the child, but also promises us a better future.

With the help of this equipment, our students will be able to take necessary energy out in order to stay focused inside the classroom.
