My Project
Our elementary school physical education program needs a parachute to help students stay active, learn teamwork, and have fun while moving their bodies.
Parachutes are great for all students, no matter their skill level, and allow everyone to join in safely.
With a parachute, students can play games that build strength, coordination, and listening skills. These activities also teach them how to work together, share, and support each other while making waves and popcorn. A parachute would give us a fun, new way to help kids move and learn. It’s a simple tool that can make a big difference in how our students enjoy and benefit from PE.
