Succeeding in Soccer!
Funded Sep 16, 2022The new soccer passing walls were such a hit with my girls soccer team. They are easy to use, pack up and carry with us to each practice. While some girls are working on one skill, others can be using the walls to work on their individual touches.
The girls were super excited to receive the new automatic pump and passing walls. Both of these items are convenient and help practice move along smoothly and efficiently.
I will be using these walls with our PE classes as well in the future. They are so versatile they are great for beginners and more advanced players. We can't thank you enough for helping our program improve and be the best we can be!”

Funded Aug 10, 2022The materials throughout the gym are inviting and engaging when students walk in. They are not bored by the regular gym walls but see pops of color and motivational messages as they travel and participate in class.
Students stop to read the quotes and pass by them each day, with a reminder of how great they are and all that they can achieve. It is difficult to keep materials throughout the whole year because of all the activities going on each day. So with all these new materials it was great to start fresh with a new look that students can clearly see and read each day they come into class. Thanks so much for spicing up the gym and making it look pretty each day for all my students!”

Fun and Active in PE!
Funded Aug 12, 2021The materials have been a great addition to our physical education classes. The vinyl gym tape has been great for separating the gym into specific areas, making our own 4 square courts and hanging materials on the walls. The bright colors help students recognize areas of the gymnasium more easily and it makes the floors more exciting to look at!
The ring toss activities have been great for the kindergarten students. It is a great introductory activity for underhand tossing which is a main focus point we have with the k-2 students in the beginning on the school year. They are bright, colorful and easy to assemble which also helps the students feel much more independent when setting up an activity.
Fitness dice are always a beneficial piece of equipment in PE classes. The dice can be used individually, in small groups or as a whole class activity. The pictures are descriptive so again they students can use them independently which is always a plus. We are so grateful for the new materials we have to use this year!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Bill Gates and 2 other donors.Let's Get Rolling!
Funded Aug 9, 2021The gymnastics mats and balance beam have been a wonderful addition to our physical education classes. The younger students have explored tumbling, rolling and balancing. The students have explored using the new mats as building blocks and making different types of forts with other materials. They have also been useful with the older students when playing games as teams and using the mats as a home base. These materials have been very beneficial to our teaching and the student exploration of gymnastics, tumbling and rolling.”

Visuals in P.E. + Kleenex!
Funded Aug 13, 2021The motivational posters look awesome in the gymnasium. Students see them on a daily basis and are always reminded of how amazing they are as individuals. They really make the gym pop. When students are putting up their daily step goals, they are reminded they are capable each day to reach a new level. Mindset is a big part of our school culture so that poster reminds them every day what our school stands for. Also, when they get ready to leave they are reminded about exercise not only helping them physically but also mentally which is so important for students to learn and grasp!”
