Pythagorean Pacing

Funded Oct 7, 2024

Thank you so much for sponsoring our project. It is amazing the immediate effect it had on the learning environment of our classroom. The walking pad and stand-up desk have benefitted numerous students already. Some kids just need to get their energy out and instead of taking a walk and missing out on academic learning, they can now stay in the classroom. This also helps with mental health because they can still talk and interact with their peers while allowing the body to regulate itself. Talking a walk is a needed break for quite a few students. However, when they do this they are by themselves and therefore isolated. By being able to do it in the classroom around other people they can still interact and be involved in the social aspect of the classroom. This may seem like a small thing but when you are struggling with mental health sometimes just being around others is helpful.

Again thank you so much!!!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Albanese
