My Project

Our elementary school in St. Paul, MN is seeking your support to provide our students with brand-new tumbling mats. These mats will be used in our PE class.

These mats will enhance our PE curriculum, promote a healthy and active lifestyle, and ensure a safe and enjoyable learning environment.

Project Impact:

Improve safety: New tumbling mats will provide a cushioned surface, reducing the risk of injuries during PE class.

Enhance learning: By having access to safe and comfortable equipment, students will be more engaged and motivated to participate in physical education.

Increased confidence: Successful experiences in physical activities can boost students' self-esteem and confidence

How donations will be used:

Purchase high-quality tumbling mats that meet safety standards.

Incorporate the mats into our physical education curriculum.
