Mrs. Stoss from Hutchinson KS is requesting sports & exercise equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Fitter, Healthier, Happier

Help me give my students hand weights to use during their PE class to improve their fitness, build muscles and strong bones, weight control, and confidence. The weights will also help to reduce anxiety and depression.

My Project

Hello, I work in an alternative learning school with grades from Kindergarten to seniors in high school. We try to offer a variety of physical fitness classes to help our students engage in healthy choices and lifestyles.

Most of our students come from low-income situations where exercise might not be a priority and we want to give our students every opportunity possible to encourage healthy choices and lifestyles.

The alternative school doesn't have all of the equipment that our high school offers. Hand weights will be an amazing start to building up our equipment for a variety of classes that will interest our students onto a road of positive choices.
