Keeping Active

Help me give my students the gym equipment to keep active when they get a break at the end of the day.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. O'Hara's classroom raised $193

My Project

The Keeping Active project is for my students to be able to use gym equipment when they earn a break at the end of the day. Often there are no kickballs or basketballs for my students to play with or they need air or they are flat.

The yoga mats will help my students have a calm space to go when upset or frustrated.

This will allow them to relax and not be on the cold floor to get their emotions together and feel calm so they can talk about their feelings.
