Fit and Focused

Help me give my students fitness equipment to stay healthy and energized throughout the school day!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Carson's classroom raised $200

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project includes fitness equipment that we can use on a regular basis by incorporating physical activity into the school day.

My students have significant difficulty staying focused and on task for extended periods of time so being able to offer a fitness break will be extremely beneficial!

We would use these sport balls, traffic cones, and jump ropes on a regular basis so that everyone could stay healthy and energized throughout the school day. Thanks for supporting such an important project that will impact my students' lives for years to come! Instilling healthy habits is critical nowadays.
