Funded Feb 16, 2018The students were so excited when the boxes arrived, "wowwy, wow, wow," was one exclamation, and "we have fun things for gym, yeay," was another. I wish I could have captured the excitement in their eyes, smiles, and voices for you. As soon as we unpacked our treasure, we rolled out our yoga mats and began to stretch and relax. Having a smart board in my classroom is making yoga a lot of fun. The students are able to follow along making some impressive yoga poses. I know we are going to get a lot of use out of our mats.
Today, the students used the sit on scooters and hoppity balls to move themselves around the gym. This gym equipment has increased the activity level of some of the students, and they are engaged in exercising and using their bodies. After gym class, their bodies are calmer, and they are more focused on their academic work.
We are thankful for your generosity, and we will not forget your kindness. You have made a difference in the lives of my students.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Gervais
