Fitness Is Fun In Preschool!!

My students need 6 basketballs and 2 hoops to help increase active play so they can become more physically fit.

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

I teach in a Title I school in a high need area. The preschool children I serve need to be encouraged to increase their fitness and exercise time outside.

Our preschoolers like to play basketball but we do not have hoops that are their size and they struggle and get discouraged using to the tall basketball hoops.

If we receive these basketball hoops then we can add them to our preschool playground and the children can enjoy them everyday!!

Your help will ensure that my students will increase their fitness and exercise time outside.
