My Project

I love how each of my students are open minded in trying out new activities in our physical education class. Most our apprehensive in trying out tumbling, but quickly realize how fun and engaging it can be. We are currently unable to safely practice gymnastics/tumbling skills in our gym due to lack of proper equipment. Our NC state standards require us to teach these important skills to our young learners to improve strength in their body and mind. Your assistance will help us to achieve these standards safely with our students, by receiving 2 new tumbling mats.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
