My Project

Ignite the spirit of physical fitness and teamwork in our students by supporting our DonorsChoose project for physical education resources! We're seeking donations to provide essential equipment that will enhance our physical education curriculum and promote an active and healthy lifestyle.

Your contribution will bring the joy of movement to our students through the inclusion of a parachute, fostering teamwork, coordination, and cardiovascular health.

The parachute becomes a dynamic tool for engaging activities that make physical education both enjoyable and educational.

We're also aiming to expand our sports program with the addition of basketballs and volleyballs, encouraging skill development, friendly competition, and teamwork. These sports equipment items will enable our students to participate in a variety of activities that enhance motor skills, coordination, and overall physical well-being.

To further diversify our offerings, we're requesting hockey pucks and a hockey net. Introducing hockey into our physical education curriculum will not only promote cardiovascular fitness but also build skills in balance, agility, and strategic thinking.

Your generous donation will make a significant impact on our students' physical development and overall well-being. By supporting this project, you're contributing to the creation of an engaging and inclusive physical education program that inspires a lifelong love for movement and fitness.

Join us in empowering our students to lead healthy, active lives. Thank you for your commitment to their physical well-being and the promotion of a positive and active school environment.
