My Students

The students within Physical education learn by doing. These students take part in a variety of activities to not only better their bodies, but their minds as well. The students vary in grade from 5th through 8th.

The students are able to explore and learn about different cultures and society through physical activity.

The students are excited to learn through different games and activities to explore the world and cultures around them. The students are eager to learn and explore the world outside of their town through activity.

My Project

The need for this equipment is widespread. Within the class, the students use the mats for anything from fitness testing to kickball. In every activity within PE class, the cones are being used to enhance the the game. These materials can help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the classes themselves. Every student within the school uses this equipment throughout the year, which produces a great deal of wear and tear on them.

This project will increase the games and activities that the students can participate in within class.

The students can continue to learn and grow through physical activity with the use of this new equipment. With the help of our donors, our students will be able to continue to learn and grow within physical education, but they will be able to grow as individuals and members of the community.
