My Project

Our athletic teams and students are always excited and ready to participate once in the gym. One thing that concerns all of the coaches and the administration in the building is for any of the students to get harmed or hurt running into the walls which are pure concrete.

The foam wall pads will definitely help prevent injuries to any of our students and provide a safe area for sports, play and classes in the gymnasium.

Having the foam wall pads will provide a relief to parents, staff, coaches, administration and the students. They can participate and play at 100% and know that the wall is padded. No more injuries from a concrete wall. Our students here are special and love to give a 100% in the classroom and in their extracurricular activities and in their sports activities. These wall pads will help them to continue to play safely as they learn through the fun of sports.
