Move, Play, and Thrive: PE Equipment for Every Student

Help me give my students PE equipment that will allow them to participate in a wider variety of activities throughout the school year.

My Project

I am requesting PE equipment that will help my students participate in a wider variety of activities throughout the school year. The supplies will be used for fitness activities, cooperative games, skill development, team sports, and recreational activities.

With additional equipment, I can provide more stations and small-group activities so students spend less time waiting and more time moving.

Equipment such as balls, jump ropes, and other PE essentials will allow me to create engaging lessons for students with different interests and ability levels.

My goal is to build a PE environment where students can discover activities they enjoy—not just traditional team sports—and develop skills they can gcontinue using outside of school.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
