Para-chute for the Stars

My Project

When we asked our students what their all time favorite physical education activity was, many didn’t hesitate to say The Parachute games! Unfortunately, we don’t currently have a parachute that meets our students needs.

This Parachute would give both our Adapted and General ed PE classes an opportunity to make physical education memories that last a lifetime.

Our goal is to use this parachute for a variety of fun and engaging group activities that get kids actively engaged and boost their overall mental and physical wellness. Your help in achieving this goal means so much to our students!
