My Project

Our Physical Education department has made the most of our resources for many years, but as our school continues to grow, so do the needs of our students. To ensure every student has equal access to fun, enrichment, and physical activity, we need additional equipment. Every item on this list will be used for years to come, providing lasting value for our programs.

Students will be thrilled when they learn we’re getting new items like a parachute, basketballs, soccer balls, nets, and yarn balls, just to name a few.

These additions will elevate their experience and engagement in PE.

I am excited to put a piece of equipment in the hands of every student during each class. I firmly believe that every student deserves the opportunity to have their own ball, scarf, or scooter, allowing them to engage in their learning at a pace that feels comfortable and enjoyable for them.

Additionally, students are eagerly anticipating our annual field day event. I’ve promised them we’ll have even more exciting games this year, and I’ve gathered feedback from them to make sure we have new items that will elevate their field day experience to the next level!
