My Project

To enhance physical development and student engagement, we propose equipping our 6th grade Physical Education program with the items outlined on the attached order sheet. Our primary goals are to support cardiovascular fitness, coordination, teamwork, and muscular strength in a safe and age-appropriate manner.

This equipment will be used during structured activities and skill-building stations designed to foster healthy habits and encourage lifelong fitness.

As a high-poverty school with limited resources, we are seeking support to provide our students with meaningful opportunities to be more active and improve their overall well-being. Your assistance would make a significant difference in helping us promote health, confidence, and teamwork among our youth. We hope you consider donating to our school.
