My Project

This grant seeks funding to provide street hockey sticks for a middle school physical education program, aiming to enhance students' overall physical fitness and teamwork skills. The street hockey sticks will be utilized in a structured curriculum that incorporates elements of cardiovascular exercise, hand-eye coordination, and strategic thinking.

By introducing street hockey into the physical education curriculum, I aim to engage my students in a fun and dynamic way, promoting an active and healthy lifestyle.

This grant will cover the purchase of durable, age-appropriate street hockey sticks, fostering an inclusive and enjoyable environment for middle school students to develop essential motor skills and foster a sense of camaraderie.

Through this initiative, I hope to instill a lifelong love for physical activity and teamwork among students.
