My Project

My fourth graders are amazing because they come from all over the world! My goal is to teach them the value of lifting up their peers as well as how to be aware of themselves and others around them.

There is strong evidence that connects physical fitness and sports involvement to positive cognitive and academic growth.

With these tools, students will learn the positive impact moving our bodies can have on our learning and mental health. Students having the opportunity to participate in basketball, soccer, and kickball during the school day will help our students grow their bodies and minds!
