Exercise is considered vital for improving physical fitness, fighting disease, maintaining mental fitness, and reducing stress. But when our school closed last spring, physical education classes became difficult to adapt to an online setting. Space, weather, social distancing, and other constraints limited what I could do in-person and with students learning from home. The pandemic not only disrupted traditional physical education, but in addition, students were likely to be more sedentary during online learning. I encouraged students to remain active, which proved to be very important during the pandemic. Physical activity has benefits for childhood brain health, including improved academic performance, memory, and reduced depression symptoms. I strive to give my students the confidence to have healthy lifestyles and be physically active for their lifetime. In order to accomplish this, we are in need of equipment to carry out the many activities and team building games I like to incorporate in my lessons. We have limited equipment that is worn and in need of replacing. Thank you for considering our PE classes in this grant and helping our students get active and establish healthy routines.
