Help me give my students a opportunity to engage in physical activity by funding basketballs, footballs, burlap bags, and other active play equipment for our inner-city school.
Fitness and Fun is a project that helps students engage in physical activity through sports and games. Although we are a middle school, we struggle with finding funding to buy the things that are needed and wanted to help our students learn new things.
My students have been eager to learn new things, but we lack equipment such as footballs, basketballs, tug of war ropes and many other things that will keep them engaged and interested.
My goal is to get the equipment to teach my students new games. It's important to me because there are not any sports programs in the area for the kids join.
The park districts are dangerous in this area. Also, I've noticed that children don't go outside much anymore. There's a lack of physical activity of any kind for our students. Providing these activities in school is a huge deal for me. I love to see my students having fun and exercising at the same time. It makes my heart melt.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
