I teach Physical Education at an elementary school located in North Miami. My students now have recess in addition to PE, which means that the demand for physical education supplies have almost doubled in order to accommodate all students.
My school has a high number of students who are high poverty, ESOL, ELL and there are a few who are SPED and gifted.
Our students love to exercise but due to the devastation of Hurricane Irma, the parks and surrounding grounds are still not safe for them to play in.
My Project
We finally have a brand new PE court so our students are no longer restricted to a regular classroom or the grass area outside. We now need more jump ropes and sports balls to accommodate the double classes during PE and recess time.
After hurricane Irma devastated Miami, many students lost access to the nearby park due to the damage.
Recess and PE are now our students only outlet for physical activity and fun. The sports balls especially can be used for team activities. Our students will be able to learn new a new sport and engage in competitive team play while having fun. Exercising while having fun, learning discipline through sports and team play while learning how to interact with each through good sportsmanship are only a few of the benefits your support will offer.
More than half of students from low‑income households
