My Project

Join our mission of bringing fitness and wellness to our school! We only have one body to live in during life, so it’s so important that we take care of it!

Our school is creating our FIRST EVER fitness room!

And with your support, 400 students will get to use the equipment during PE and Wellness classes and at our after school club, Smart Strength!

Join us as we create a safe, inviting and inclusive fitness space for our 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. Equipped with a variety of fitness tools, they will leave class with the tools, skills and knowledge to be physically, mentally, socially and emotionally strong! And I am so excited for them!

Thank you!
