Help me give my students mini-exercise bikes to practice their cycling skills and build their cardio-aerobic endurance.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Mac's classroom raised $784

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students continue to prove that children from low-income neighborhoods can thrive.
Our school sits in the middle of the poorest congressional district in the United States.
We have the third-highest percentage of single mothers in America and host some of the nation's highest childhood asthma rates. Ten years ago, our school was one of the city's lowest-performing schools. It was a chaotic place, simply focused on providing a safe environment for students to visit during the day.
Today, ours is a model school whose teachers embrace responsive classroom teaching strategies. Students' math scores have increased from their record lows by five hundred percent. Parent satisfaction and support for school efforts are high, teachers provide innovative and engaging instruction, and everyone involved with the school rates its leadership top notch. In large part, our collaborative and effort focused school culture has helped students embrace a growth mindset; the idea that struggle and even failure breeds success. These lessons are embedded in everything we do.
My Project
My students in my school love to ride bicycles. Unfortunately, most don't have access to a bike at home, and there are few places students can ride safely in our neighborhood.
I want to give my students the chance to experience what it feels like to pedal a bicycle in a safe and controlled environment.
The bikes included in this project will accommodate students of various sizes and help them flex their leg muscles in cardio-aerobic activity. Additionally, these mini's will give students who have upper-body injuries (sprained or broken wrists) or who aren't able to participate in PE class for some other reason the chance to stay active while sitting on the sidelines.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
