My Project

After our initial Staying Healthy & Having Fun project received full funding recently, we wanted to look at bringing in even more fun and exciting games to offer students when the time is right. And here we are with the creation, "Round 2!"

Many of our students compete in sports activities activities in and outside of school but there are a lot of other students who are not able to participate due to family situations or financial obligations.

And this is the cornerstone for this project idea! Offering ALL students the opportunity to be active, have fun regardless if they play for a team or not. I have found it's best for team-building and managements purposes to have specific activities & options for students to participate in games that can be played inside and outside when time allows. It gets the brain kicking and offers a nice alternative and break away from the everyday run of it from time to time.

That's where the equipment and yard games for this project come in to play and are so important! With them, we can continue to have fun creating games that bring athletes and non-athletes together for a FUN time! All of these will allow boys and girls to come together to simply play and enjoy the "no stress is best" philosophy. I'm excited to provide ALL of my students, regardless of athletic ability, with fun activities that build relationships while promoting physical fitness and a healthy life-style.
