My Project
My students are energetic, curious, and eager to move! Many of them don’t have access to safe outdoor play spaces or organized sports outside of school. For many, physical education and active recess are not only the most exciting parts of the day they’re also some of the only opportunities they have to move their bodies in structured, healthy ways.
I’m requesting sports and exercise equipment to enrich our PE program and recess activities.
This includes balls, jump ropes, cones, resistance bands, and more. These tools will allow students to participate in organized games, develop coordination, and stay physically and mentally healthy.
Not all students bring their own water bottles from home, and staying hydrated is essential especially during physical activity. Providing reusable water bottles ensures that all students can stay safely hydrated throughout the day, regardless of their background, without needing to wait in line at the water fountain or miss out on movement.
Regular physical activity doesn’t just benefit the body it improves classroom focus, supports emotional well-being, and builds essential life skills like teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship. With more high-quality equipment, I can create engaging, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate experiences that encourage every child to participate and succeed.
Having safe, durable, and age-appropriate gear means everyone gets a turn. Whether we’re doing soccer drills, circuit training, or team-building challenges, this equipment will breathe new life into our physical education program and inspire students to stay active, healthy, and confident well beyond the school day.
