My Project

Our students are awesome kids with lots of energy. They love to be active and they love to exercise. The students come from a variety of backgrounds. The school is fortunate to have students from many different countries and a wide variety of backgrounds.

Even though some have economic challenges they love Physical Education and the chance to learn new ways to exercise.

All of the students love to try new activities.

The students could use the stepping stones, spin boards, and stomp rockets in PE class to get heart rates up and work on their balance and coordination, which are lifelong skills. A lot of these students love to try new things and work together to create activities. These new items would allow students to collaborate while creating obstacle courses or work together to accomplish team goals.
