  • Let's Get Organized in P.E. Class!

    Funded Dec 28, 2021

    Thank you for all your donations to support my P.E. classroom. I was able to get cones, poly dots and music to be used daily. My students now have multiple uses for the equipment to mark areas of the inside multi-purpose room, the outside black top and fields. The cones and music we use for warm-up to games and activities. I know as teachers the importance to be prepared and have a well maintained equipment and centers for the students. As a result, we are way more organized every day thanks to all the supporters. Thank you again.”

    With gratitude,

    Teacher Melshen

  • Utility Cart For P.E.

    Funded Feb 19, 2016

    The new red cart has been such a great addition to the physical education program. We received the cart after basketball season but, we continue to use it for other activities like bowling, freeze mania, bucket ball and softball skills. The mobile cart has made trips from indoors to outdoors and back to indoors much easier. Field Day is coming up and I know that with the help of the new red cart our time can be used wisely. Thank you again for contributing to the physical education program for our school.”

    With gratitude,

    Teacher Melshen

I teach physical education to over 450 kids three or more times a week. My students, grades K through 5, possess a wide-range of personalities and athletic talents, but hardly lack enthusiasm. Unfortunately, their passion for gym is not matched by my physical education budget.
