My Students

Here at Hillside, Physical Education is the absolute best place to be! Students gets to move, run, and learn new motor skills to be competent in various sports and fitness activities.

I teach at an inner city school of about 900 students.

Half of our students qualify for free or reduced price lunch. There are roughly 20 different languages spoken at our school. I have never been to or seen a more diverse school than this one. I tried my best to reach all students to make them feel safe, comfortable, and in shape during my PE classes.

My Project

Get kids rowing to a great future!

At our inner city middle school, we are building a fitness center that all students and staff will access.

Our goal is to provide a safe, structured space for middle school students to learn about fitness and practice healthy activities which will build a stronger, healthier body and mind. Integrating a rowing machine into our fitness room will allow students and faculty an opportunity to benefit from a tremendous cardiovascular workout, while protecting joints and building muscle.

Including a variety of cardio and strength focused items in our fitness center will help to keep students and staff engaged for the long haul while increasing endurance, cardiovascular strength, and overall muscle stamina. Also, the variety in equipment will prevent boredom and muscle overuse issues. Engaging kids body and mind at school will increase motivation and positive participation as they learn to build mastery in a variety of domains.

Please help us to engage our students in this healthy and beneficial long term activity by supporting this project.
