New Equipment, New Opportunities

Help me give my students new equipment that will replace the well-loved equipment they are used to. It will give them new opportunities to play in new ways!

My Project

We are looking to upgrade our equipment in PE. Hula Hoops are used for a variety of activities, not just for hula hooping. They can be used as bases, as targets, as basketball hoops, etc. Right now, all of our hula hoops are broken or kinked from being well-loved and well-used. The same goes for our scooters and our basketballs. Many of our scooter wheels don't move as smoothly as they used to. Our basketball have seen better days.

To keep students learning and practicing, there needs to be enough for each class and for every student to have one.

Class sizes range from 17 to 25. I want to support my students' interests and ensure there is enough usable equipment for each student.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
