My Project

My students have a love of fitness. We also have an active school. We provide activity time in the morning before school, lunch time, and after school clubs and sports.

The equipment just doesn't last when it gets used everyday.

We need to improve the equipment before it runs out. We need indoor basketballs for girls. We need volleyballs that can be used inside and outside. We need more ping pong balls and paddles. We want to provide a safe place for kids to come and enjoy school. Active kids do better in school. The equipment can really make a difference.
