Good News
Welcome to the Good News section of For the Love of Recess! Here, we will share updates and news articles about our organization and recent visits to Catholic schools in need.
Team Effort: A Gift from the Heart
This gift took a lot of heart and teamwork! When one of our REACH ambassadors heard about a devastating fire at a Catholic school in Pennsylvania, we knew we had to help. The incredible community of St. Gregory the Great in Hamilton, NJ, came together to collect recess equipment—enough to fill three large containers! Meanwhile, our newest REACH ambassador, Kyleigh, led an effort at St. Paul’s in Princeton, NJ, to create Easter baskets packed with teachers’ wishlist items and fun craft kits for the children. When we arrived at St. Francis of Assisi, the school community was overjoyed by the outpouring of support. Seeing the kids’ excitement over their new supplies reminded us why we do what we do—because every child deserves the joy of recess!

Our Visit to St Gerard Majella School
When we heard that a school in Paterson, NJ is in need of recess equipment, we knew immediately it would be the next stop for donations!
We met with Sister Jo-ann Pompa and learn so much about the school and its tenacity to stay open and serve its community. We are so happy to be able to provide their students with four large bins filled to the brim with new recess equipment to enjoy!

A Note From Sacred Heart
Our First Stop!
Our Lady of Mount Carmel School and its inspiring principal played a vital role in the creation of For the Love of Recess. We were thrilled to make our first donation to the school, which holds a special place in our hearts. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we were able to provide the school with the necessary equipment for students to enjoy recess to the fullest. This first donation is just the beginning, and we will continue to work tirelessly to bring joy to children across the country. Thank you for your support!
