Funded Aug 13, 2012
I am extremely grateful that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation saw fit to fund my proposal for gym equiptment- in full. The children love all the equiptment and we use it daily. My pre-k children are not mandated for physical education classes, the school playground was our only resource for the children to exercise their gross motor ability.
We are able to use the equiptment in an inner hallway in the colder months and we will be using them outdoors when the weather permits.
The generosity of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is greatly appreciated by my students and myself.
Sincerely,
Georgia F. Rizzo”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Rizzo

I work in a inner city school where 90% of our children live in the neighboring projects. I teach the most beautiful, precious 4-year-old children in New York City! They come to school eager to learn, and they absorb all the material like a sponge. They love to go outdoors. I encourage this by taking them outdoors daily if the weather permits. Not only is it important for them to develop their gross motor skills, but I would also like to instill in them the importance of physical activity. Child obesity is a problem in our community and pre-k is the first and best place to create awareness of this problem and find ways to prevent it. My goal is to help my students understand the importance of a good diet and physical activity and the role they play in overall health.
