My Project

IPS is Rebuilding Stronger! IPS is restructuring their schools to K-5, 6-8 and 9-12. I am moving to one of the new middle schools!

With the move, it means I'm getting some new equipment, new equipment means a major need for storage!

One of the biggest things for a PE teacher and student is having functional equipmnent. The best way to have functional equipment is to have a proper way to store and protect your equipment from people not apart of your program.

These materials will help me store my new equipment and lock it up in a safe way so we can preserve it for a longer period of time, because as you know, in a school, not many things get replaced, especially in Physical Education.

The nets will allow me to teach kids badminton, tennis, and pickleball in a big way as I am expecting bigger classes.

The hockey sticks will allow me to teach floor hockey with proper middle school equipment.

Thank you for supporting IPS and my new school!
