My Project

My students are creative, energetic, and full of potential. Everyday, they inspire me with their curiosity and resilience. I my PE class, I try to instill into the students a sense of learning how to be part of a team, how to support one another, and how to grow into confident, compassionate people. That's why I'm excited to bring Gaga ball into the school.

Gaga ball, It's more that just a game, it's a tool for learning and connection.

This game gives them a chance to grow in ways that textbooks can't always offer.

Gaga ball is a fast-paced, fun, and inclusive games that encourages physical activity, teamwork, and friendly competition. Using an inflatable pit makes it safe, portable, and perfect for all ages.
