"Currently I am teaching 2nd grade in east San Jose. To help make physical education more possible, I am requesting a complete gym kit and rolling cart to house the materials.

The gym kit includes everything we'll need for tons of fun-filled active play. The kit includes playground balls, jump ropes with easy-grip handles, 10 color cones, 6 game hoops, and 18 color and number beanbags that are perfect for coordination games, obstacle courses and more!

The cart provides the perfect way to keep active play equipment neat, organized, and totally portable! The two-tier metal cart has a roomy bottom bin that holds up to 25 balls, and 3 separate bins on top for small items like the beanbags and jump ropes. Plus, a special hook on back folds out to hold the hula hoops.

I know my students will gain a lot from physical education. Not only will they improve their coordination and gross motor skills, they will also learn teamwork and improve their communication skills. Thank you for your consideration of our proposal.

The cost of this gym kit is $227, including shipping and fulfillment ?.

Dear Linda and eBay Foundation, 
Thank you so much for funding the fitness equiptment cart. I am really looking forward to using these materials with my class this year. We are going to be having a lot of great instructional days for fitness this year before the rainy days start. The cart includes so many different pieces: balls, hoola hoops, and cones all to help make p.e. more fun.

Thank you,
Ms. S
