There Are Fossils in Our Gym!

Help me give my students get some great new equipment! We are a small school that has a lot of old equipment and could really use new jump ropes, yoga mats, and potato sacks for the kids!

FULLY FUNDED! Coach Chapman's classroom raised $566

My Project

I love my students passion for exercise and living a healthy lifestyle! I love their hearts. My students deserve to have good, new equipment. A lot of the equipment, which isn't a lot, is really old and breaking and in desperate need of being replaced. These new jump ropes will replace literal rope, jump ropes and actually be the right size for my students. I wanted to start a jump roping lesson but the ropes don't fit for older students so I've postponed that until I could get some new ropes. This new equipment will help our kids be able to do so much more activities and learn so much more to craft their skills.
