My Project
As our school's population keeps growing so do our class sizes. As our class sizes grow the amount of equipment available to our students becomes harder to acquire where each student has the opportunity to learn about a certain sport or fitness activity. In a 50-minute class sometimes other physical educators and myself at my school may have up to 125 students in our gymnasium and weight room. While we love the atmosphere and it's amazing watching 125 students laughing, playing, and interacting with each other all while exercising and off their phones it can be hard to have available equipment for every student. In addition, many of our students are new to the country and a language barrier is often present, by having enough equipment we can demonstrate physically/visually to the students the proper technique and purpose of the activity. Then if we have a surplus amount they can really focus on that one exercise for the duration of class and have the opportunity to master and love the skill/exercise. By providing us with more weight room equipment we can accept more students into our weight room and teach more kids at once. The new fitness equipment will allow us to rotate more students into our weight room where students can focus on achieving a basic understanding of lifelong fitness. Thank you for your consideration!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
