My Project

My students deserve quality equipment to improve their overall health. We live in a small rural community where opportunities for mental health and wellness are limited. Our school is a hub that strives to provide support for our students whether that is academic, social, or emotional. In the past few years, we've seen an uptick in anxiety and emotional stress.

This project will serve to increase overall support for our students by providing equipment to relieve pressures brought on by the recent community and global events.

There is no question that student mental health and coping mechanisms have declined over the past few years. Research shows daily exercise improves memory, promotes better sleep, increases energy levels, and provides stress relief. In turn, this improves their overall energy levels and ability to balance demands and expectations.
