Ignite: Inspiring Growth Through Movement

Help me give my students the equipment needed to make PE fun and get them excited about moving their bodies and learning about various sports.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Barriger's classroom raised $2,990

This project is fully funded

My Project

My project seeks funding to enhance the quality of our PE program through the purchase of new equipment. This includes updated dodgeballs, scooters, balance beams, volleyballs, soccer balls, and a variety of other essential PE items. Our current equipment is outdated, limited in quantity, and no longer meets the needs of our growing and diverse student population. By introducing new gear, we aim to provide students with engaging, sage, and developmentally appropriate activities that promote physical fitness, teamwork, coordination, and motor skills development. This investment will support a wide range of activities- from team sports like volleyball and dodgeball to individual challenges involving balance and agility- ensuring every student can participate and thrive in a dynamic, inclusive PE environment.
