I am the physical education teacher at our school. The goal of our physical education classes is to get every kid moving every day. Students are more active in the gym when they have music to motivate them. By purchasing an iPod for the gym, I can use Bluetooth to play it on a stereo in the gym. Listening to music while you exercise helps take your mind off of the physical activity we are doing and lets kids have fun while they are doing it. All 380 students at VBES will benefit from this project as all students have PE. Thank you for supporting the students and teachers at my school.
