SRMS Needs Equipment

Help me give my students of SRMS new sports equipment. Currently students are not fully motivated to engage in sports because we do not have the proper equipment. We are hoping to obtain new equipment.

My Project

Students working collaboratively to positively affect our school decided to focus on the sports equipment in physical education classes. They posted a school-wide survey to see what equipment students believed we needed for our school. We do have equipment currently, but students find our equipment inadequate or broken. We are looking to acquire new equipment to benefit the physical education curriculum and to also impact the physical and mental health of our students.

Our goal for this project is to better the mental and physical health of students at our school.

Teens today find exercise as a way to relieve stress and improve their bodies. Teenagers are often on social media which causes their physical health to decrease. Having this equipment can motivate students to want to exercise more while at school. When students leave school, they we hope they will have the motivation to continue to be physically active.
