  • Adaptive Physical Education Equipment

    Funded Sep 21, 2023

    I am beyond thankful for each of you that generously donated! These students are excited to receive the equipment and begin using it. Having this equipment allows for my students to achieve the same success that their able bodied peers have.

    Thank you again for allowing this project to become fully funded.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Stewart

  • Physical Education for ALL Students

    Funded Nov 26, 2019

    I first want to thank each and every individual who helped in purchasing the equipment for my students. While we haven't used all the equipment just yet, we are eager to do so. Due to budget cuts and limited money, the Adaptive Physical Education program has very limited resources. Limited resources limit opportunities for these students to reach full potential. With the resources provided we have been able to break down basic movements in ways that are more understanding for our students.

    Our classroom used the colored foot prints in order for our students to better comprehend the movement of their feet during a throw (pictured). The visual of where their feet were supposed to be placed and even which foot to place helped them immensely. We did try this activity before using the foot prints and both instructors and students were visibly frustrated.

    The students saw all the new equipment and were ecstatic and eager to use it. In the future we do plan on using everything in a variety of ways. Coming up with new and innovative ways to either break down movements or simplify them so that it is much easier for the student to understand.

    Ultimately the success of these students is our overall goal. With your help, we were able to make their success abundant. We are forever grateful.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Stewart

Students who have disabilities are limited on what they are able to do. Sometimes using larger or smaller objects help our students to be equally as successful in completing a task as their able-bodied cohorts. Unfortunately the equipment they need to be successful is expensive and like all other departments, budgets are limited. Our students have an immense amount enthusiasm during Physical Education because it is a place where they can truly let go and be themselves. The equipment they receive will help them to become physically active. Equipment used by these students will not only help them physically, but it will give them a sense of purpose. They work with a group of students in a PE Leadership Training class and through hands on working experience and social immersion, my students become more aware of themselves and their surroundings. This equipment can make the difference in being able to learn to throw a ball. Typical equipment an able body student uses gives them the opportunity to be successful, but this equipment doesn’t translate to those individuals who are unable to grip the ball. This equipment allows for them to be successful in completing simple tasks such as kicking a soccer ball or catching a basketball to shoot into the hoop.
