My Students

My students are Pre-K to second graders who love to move. When they come to the door for their Physical Education class, I can feel their energy. Our community lacks the resources required to attain adequate supplies and equipment.

I hear, "I love gym!" all day long.

It makes me so happy to know that most young kids are enthusiastic about exercise. I want to encourage this love for movement by providing as many successful experiences for them as possible in the Physical Education classes that I teach. I hope that their experiences will instill a desire for lifetime fitness.

My Project

When students come to PE I want them to feel comfortable in their clothes to participate to their full potential. When I see a child with a shirt that is too short or tight I would like to be able to give them a properly fitting shirt. My young PE students are also eager to learn. Combining physical activity and academic subjects helps students process information in a different way and enhances their learning ability.

Please help me supply my students with shirts that fit properly and games that will enhance their motor skills, as well as cognitive skills.
