My Project

Lots of students in a small gym. That is how it works for middle school PE classes. Help us maximize our space with volleyball poles to allow our students a variety of activities at the same time. Our students LOVE playing volleyball, especially our students with disabilities. Help us create a way to continue to let them play games they love.

Our Goals:

Enhance our Volleyball to Our Curriculum: Making PE fun and engaging while teaching valuable life skills.

Introduce Volleyball to Our Curriculum: Making PE fun and engaging while teaching valuable life skills.

Create an Inclusive Environment: Ensuring all students feel welcomed and encouraged.

Inspire Lifelong Fitness: Helping students develop healthy habits through positive experiences.

Why Our Students?

Our students are energetic, curious, and eager to learn! Many don’t have access to organized sports outside of school, so quality PE is crucial for their growth
