I typically plan for around $500/year of my own money for snacks and fidgets for the kids. This has opened up opportunities for me to do even more with my money to support our kids because now I can focus on more then just the basics. I am hoping to buy some new bases for our annual kickball tournament and be able to buy some new balls for our Hoops Group. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the food and fidgets you provided. I couldn't be more thankful and full of gratitude. This probably seems like something small to you, but it was a HUGE win for us this year.

My goal for our PE program is to provide unforgettable experiences and opportunities that foster active lifestyles and healthy habits. By updating our outdated PE equipment, we are enriching and empowering students to seek further opportunities to learn through movement and play. We've replaced broken hula hoops and added hopper balls that have already increased engagement with our transitional kindergarten/kindergarten students. The catch and toss game has been used a lot during our throwing and catching unit. The foam balls have also been heavily used during our throwing catching unit, as well as in our basketball unit to practice shooting. The basketball rack is getting a lot of use too - we are finishing up our basketball unit and it's provided an easy way for students to access balls when they need them.
