Getting Better Fit at Our School

Help me give my students and athletes the proper equipment (barbells, weights, etc.) to increase their overall physical fitness in PE and sports.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Ajose's classroom raised $911

This project is fully funded

My Project

At our school, our students are always eager to try and learn new things when it comes to health and wellness. The new equipment will help make our PE and sports program better. Giving our PE classes a more efficient space to learn about different areas of physical fitness. Currently, our weight room is not in a place where our students and athletes are able to get the physical fitness they need to become better, healthier students and give them an advantage in their specific sport. Our young warriors are asking for your help so they can be given the opportunity and resources they need for a healthier lifestyle and to be given an equal advantage in their specific sport to compete on the same level as their competitors.
