I teach a great group of multi-handicapped students who inspire and amaze me every day. They never stop trying so I never want to stop being the best APE teacher I can be for them.

The majority of my students are from low to poverty level schools from the county we serve. The cuts in county board funding have taken their toll on acquiring any new and exciting APE equipment.

Many of students love to climb, jump and try new things. These moonshoes and stepping buckets will be right up their alley! The added resource books will help me keep fresh ideas and amazing activities planned for the years to come. The remote control CD player will be a great help with movement games and for the relaxation and positioning time for my students in wheelchairs. When the weather gets nice the ball cart will be a great help to transport equipment to our outside recreation areas.

Your support will make a huge difference the quality and quantity of many students adapted physical education experience. Happy feet makes happier kids!
