My Project
Imagine a gym class where every student, can play a game where they feel safe and excited to join in on the fun. We are a vibrant school located in the heart of Center City Philadelphia, but our limited outdoor space makes it challenging for our students to enjoy physical activities. That’s why we need your help to bring a gaga pit to our gym!
Gaga is a fast-paced, high-energy game that promotes inclusion, teamwork, and physical fitness.
It’s perfect for our diverse group of students because it’s easy to learn and play, ensuring that everyone can participate and have a blast. The game’s inclusive nature means that all students can join in, boosting their confidence and fostering a sense of community.
Our urban setting means we don’t have a traditional playground, but that won’t stop us from giving our students the fun and active gym class they deserve. By adding a gaga pit to our gym, we’ll transform our limited space into an exciting arena where kids can burn off energy, make friends, and develop a love for physical activity.
We’re excited to see our students’ faces light up with joy and enthusiasm as they dive into the gaga pit. Your support will not only provide a much-needed physical outlet but also create lasting memories for our children. Please help us make our city gym class an inclusive, fun-filled experience for everyone.
Thank you for your generosity and for helping us bring joy and fitness to our school!
