Enhance the Fitness Experience

Funded Feb 7, 2018

These exercise mats have truly helped to enhance the fitness experience at my school. From the moment they came the students kept asking "Do we get to use them today?" The first time we used them were for a sit-up test and a few students were excited to see how many more they could do now that they didn't have to worry about discomfort. They succeeded and were still praising you after testing. Other students who aren't currently in the class asked why we didn't have them when they were in class. These mats will be enjoyed by many generations at this school.

We plan to use these mats for many activities. One activity that these will also enhance the experience for is yoga/pilates (mostly the girls are excited for this aspect of using the mats). I have taught this class many times without mats and the number one complaint is always, "why don't we have mats?" These mats will allow us to do so much more.

These mats are just the beginning to what we have planned. Currently we are trying to get updated/additional equipment for our weight room because there is hardly enough equipment for four kids the lift at a time. We believe this will help improve our sports teams and our PE classes.”
