Help me give my students running and walking pedometers to encourage a healthy lifestyle!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Buss's classroom raised $169
This project is fully funded
My Project
Our running class focuses on building healthy habits, setting goals, and learning perseverance. We are requesting pedometers so students can track how far they run each day. These tools will make running time more interactive and help students see their progress in a meaningful way.
Knowing how far they’ve run gives students a sense of accomplishment and motivation.
Instead of running without a clear goal, students will be able to set targets, track improvements, and feel proud of their progress. This encourages responsibility, effort, and makes fitness fun.
My goal is to help students take ownership of their health. With pedometers, we can set personal goals, do friendly challenges, and create a positive, goal-driven atmosphere in class.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
