Physical Activity Matters!

My students need yoga mats and a yoga curriculum set so our kids can be physically active during the Chicago winter.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. D.'s classroom raised $550

This project is fully funded

My Students

Winter in Chicago is cold! With freezing temperatures approaching and no access to a gymnasium, our kindergarten students can be physical active through daily yoga class. Yoga mats will help our kids stay active through the cold months!

We just opened a new charter school in Chicago, serving 100 kindergarten students.

They are excited about their new school and are working hard to prepare for both first grade and college. As winter approaches, our kiddos need an alternative to outdoor recess; will you consider funding our request for yoga mats?

My Project

We know that our kindergarten students need physical activity each and every day so they can be physically and mentally fit! During the Chicago winters, our kids can't play on the playground and we don't have access to a gym. Our kids need materials so they can be physically fit indoors, getting their body and minds ready for first grade and college! We are seeking a kindergarten yoga curriculum and 24 (a class set) of yoga mats. With these materials, our kindergarten students will exercise every day of the year!

Your donation will ensure that all our kindergarteners have access to physical exercise every day.

With daily yoga, our kids will develop physically and mentally, helping them succeed in school and life!
