My Students

Our students are an enthusiastic, energetic bunch. They love to participate in a variety of activities and are tons of fun to work with.

Many of our students come from homes that are struggling financially, and may lack the equipment at home to continue to stay active during this historical time in their educational lives.

I would love to be able to help them stay physically active, even though we can't have in-person contact.

My Project

Virtual learning is a tremendous challenge for many reasons. As a physical education teacher, my passion is to help my students to live a physically and mentally healthy lifestyle. It is difficult to do this when my students are stuck at home, many with no real sporting equipment to use to be active.

This project will help many of my students have the opportunity to get outside and get the exercise they so dearly need.

Getting a new piece of equipment will hopefully motivate them to get their families outside and get some exercise and improve their skills.
