My Students

My students are a diverse and challenging group with many needs and different abilities. We have many students who are low-income, and we strive to give students the opportunities they deserve.

We are in need of new bikes, fat-tire/ mountain bikes, to help keep our student physically active and socially distanced during these tough times.

Our goal is to build stronger relationships and improve the culture of our school and community by having the highest standards of physical activity and use our surrounding environment all year around. We just need more help on the expenses of the equipment and support to embrace the safe skilled program for years to come.

My Project

Our students will have the possibility to ride a bike in all environments and be safe. This will be the beginning of our wide tire bikes. These bikes will be used in our community on groomed trail that are ready and waiting. These bikes will be used in our beginning freshman physical education and advance wilderness classes. This is a skill they will learn and grow with and starts with your help with one bike and a plan. Our plan is to give our students an opportunity and a skill where they can be successful in any environment.
