Hayfield Secondary's Weight Room Upgrade Round 2

Help me give my students more fitness choices with resistance bands, ab wheels, and bumper weights that need replacing due to damage or overuse. This equipment is essential for stretching as well as learning proper technique.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Berggren's classroom raised $548

My Project

I have taught Personal Fitness at Hayfield Secondary School for over 10 years. Personal Fitness is a weight training class where I teach my students how to safely and properly lift weights. My classes are comprised of students in 10th, 11th and 12th grade who elect to take this class.

Our weight room is heavily used after school by many sports team.

Over the years much of our smaller equipment has been lost or damaged making it more difficult to teach essential lessons and focus on safety. Please help Hayfield to reacquire this essential equipment so our students can see the mental, physical, and emotional gains they desire while in the weight room.
