My Project

This year at SMS we are implementing more physical education classes for 7th and 8th graders. Two-thirds of the students are taking physical education at one time, and the equipment is desperately needed. We are using all available resources at this time, but need extra equipment.

The other one-third of students are in health education class, and part of their mental and emotional wellness is to earn privileges.

This is where the bean bag chairs come in. Having students earn the chairs when they work on their computer would be a great benefit. This is something they could look forward to.
