My Project

Research shows when students exercise, their ability to focus in class and school improves. I am requesting equipment to encourage our students to make healthy choices and create meaningful relationships. Play provides fun and a love of being at school. Our students enjoy playing games to develop their communication skills and develop healthy relationships.

My goal for this project is to provide my students with the equipment to play soccer and basketball while practicing speaking English.

My students are special because they are determined to succeed, work hard, and have meaningful learning experiences.
