My Project

My fourth graders love to exercise. What is a better way for them to keep their hearts healthy by jumping into the New Year with new pogo sticks. This is a fun way for them to have fun with their peers while exercising. Pogo sticks teach balance, coordination, and increases stamina. This is a great way to encourage students to exercise while have a great time.

Help us give each student a Pogo Stick so they can improve their physical health while enhancing balance and coordination.

Pogo sticks can strengthen your core, legs, improve endurance and motor skills. Let's get our kids heart rate up and start jumping.
