The impact of COVID left my students with many social and emotional needs due to the isolation and lack daily interaction with their peers. I believe the best medicine to encourage social interaction in students is to engage in physical education. PE allows students to release energy and boosts serotonin levels that contributes to positive and uplifting moods. Engaging in physical activity helps to facilitate learning and improves brainpower. The positive effects of physical education cannot be understated especially with the lost instruction time due to the COVID school shutdowns. Our current PE equipment is limited and extremely outdated and is mostly unusable. I hope to provide new equipment that will facilitate my students love of an active lifestyle!
