Improving Students Fitness Through Equipment Request

Help me give my students additional equipment for our physical education class, including soccer balls, yoga mats, general-use balls, soccer goals, bell balls for our Special needs students, volleyballs and pinnies.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ogden's classroom raised $1,307

This project is fully funded

My Project

Currently, our limited equipment restricts how many students can fully participate in each activity. By increasing our supply, we can ensure every student is actively involved, which not only improves participation but also supports their physical health, teamwork, and enjoyment of physical activity. For example, having enough soccer balls and goals allows us to run multiple games or drills simultaneously, keeping students engaged and moving. Yoga mats will give us the opportunity to expand our curriculum to include flexibility, mindfulness, and balance-focused activities. Pinnies are necessary for organizing teams during games, and additional balls ensure a wide range of sports and skill-building exercises can be offered. Overall, more equipment will allow us to provide a well-rounded, dynamic program that motivates students to be active and helps build healthy habits that last a lifetime.
