A new year is upon us, and it’s time to restock some of our recess equipment. You all were so generous last year and put recess inventory in good standings. However, one type of ball seems too wear out faster than the rest, and classes seem to go through them at a higher volume. If you would wish to help us out, we are in need of some playground balls. I have attached a couple of links of examples of what we would need. We need ones that are durable for the pounding and use outside. Playground balls that are thinner in material tend to get warped and lose air faster than those that are thicker. We thank you for your generosity and support to help restock our recess playground balls.
