My Students

My students love to play great games in our gym, but since we are a school that has been open for 8 years, I am still trying to acquire new games and equipment for my students to play.

I teach students in a kindergarten through 8th-grade public school, including children with special needs and English language learners, in an urban environment.

Our school has been reopened now for its 8th year. I do not have a lot of funds for equipment so I need your help to try to get physical education equipment for my students.

My students are very energetic and excited when they arrive in my physical education class. They love playing new games and activities during the school year.

My students do not receive much physical activity outside of school due to the dangers of their environment. When they are in our gym, I try to make the most out of each class by maximizing participation. The more equipment we have, the more my students will be able to experience it.

My Project

My students will be so excited to be able to have a new game to play. I will be able to play Ladderball with all of my grade levels.

Your generous donations will help me develop my students' love for fitness and a healthy lifestyle.

If I can get them to understand that you can feel so good about yourself after playing a fun game with friends and you can lead a healthier life when enjoying a lifetime of fitness, then maybe I can put a dent in childhood obesity. Even changing one child's life will make a difference.
