Mr. Van Kampen New Groningen Elementary School
Zeeland, MI Grades 3-5

We are a high energy 5th grade class room that includes students with some special needs.

We don't have the money to purchase exercise balls that have been shown through research to help students, especially those with ADD focus on their class work and even make school more enjoyable.

Research has shown that students’ attitudes about school, ability to concentrate, and even focus are greatly enhanced by using these balls.

By helping out you will help my students reach their full potential, especially those with learning disabilities.
