My Students

With all the state assessments, we work so hard all day long. I feel bad for my children. The days of free time and fun lessons have been diminished to 30 minutes on Friday.....if we are lucky!!  My children need to move it and shake things up!

My children are from a low income district.

Through Donorchoose donations and myself, we have gotten them a lot of what they need to succeed. Now, I have a new challenge. I want them to get moving. Mario Kart will be used for my Homework Stars, but Dance Dance Revolution will get them moving!

My Project

You would be apart of making my children healthier. With the Wii System and Dance Dance Revolution, they will not only be moving, they will be moving and shaking!! You would also be giving my children the motivation to complete their homework and get to come back at lunch and drive with Mario.

You would be helping us get started in moving toward a healthier lifestyle.

Thank you for donating to our first step in getting healthier. My children will thank you for giving them these fun memories.
