My Project

My physical education students will be able to have damaged or worn-out equipment replaced. We use dodgeballs almost daily to practice throwing and kicking - to work on hand-eye coordination. These balls become damaged and worn out with daily use and are in dire need of replacement. I would also like to purchase new pickleball equipment to help expose my students to new types of physical activity! Pickleball can help students improve their balance, burn calories and improve their agility. New equipment will ensure that I am able to provide the best instruction to my students. Everything that we have and need is to improve each student the best we can.
