My Students

My students are wonderful, kind, loving children! They are rough around the edges, but soft inside. They are very active and love to move, and I want to give them every chance I can to do just that!

My students have endured hardships with lead water and many of them live in poverty.

The community in which they reside doesn't always allow them the mobility to safely be active outside. My students enjoy learning different physical activities and they thrive to be the best they can be.

It's hard to teach students skills necessary in physical education with us being a Title One with an extremely limited budget. The majority of my students are low income and rely on the school to provide the athletic equipment that they need to properly participate in physical education, sports, and activities.

My Project

Our physical education equipment is in dire need of replacement. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to replace it all on my own. My younger students absolutely love using jump ropes and hula hoops for a variety of activities.

Giving my students some new Hula Hoops and Jump Ropes will increase their excitement for physical education and help them get in the habits of being physically active.

Both of these items help children work on motor skills which are essential for life long activity. These items will help my students gain these skills while having tons of fun in the process.
