  • Pedometer's & Deodorant 4 Students! Emotional Regulation Books 4 Health

    Funded Jul 30, 2024

    Thank you for helping me reach my goal of getting deodorant for the entire 5th grade during our hygiene lesson. I even had enough for the 4th grade! I gave it out to students as a holiday gift before Christmas break and they were so happy to get something that wasn't food. I was also able to reach my goal of getting pedometers for the 5th grade, and once again I had enough for the 4th grade. Students were excited to use their pedometers over break to see how many steps they actually take and to keep active over break! Thank you!”

    Thank you for your generous donations! They will go a long way towards improving the physical fitness of my students.

My students and I are lucky to have amazing people like you in this world.”

  • Wobble Stools = Alternative Seating that Benefit Every Student!

    Funded Jun 24, 2024

    Thank you for your donation. My students use these stools in gym class when they have some extra, extra energy to burn off or need help focusing. They are great because they are not a distraction to other students because they do not make any noise! The size of the stools are a perfect size for my students in grades K-5. They promote good posture and they help students develop this in a fun and easy way. Students were curious when we first got them, and weren't sure of their use, and now they can use them without asking!”

    Funded May 14, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donation! I cannot tell you how excited I am to use this in my classroom, and how much it will benefit my students in physical education class! The possibilities are endless with new technological advances that students will be using in their future schooling and career choice! Thanks again.”

  • Outdoor Phys. Ed. Tactical Awareness Games!

    Funded Mar 17, 2024

    The resources donated for this project provided an opportunity for my students that they normally would have not experienced. Students had mini tournaments with all of the resources, including Can Jam, Corn Hole, and Spike Ball. These activities, not normally associated with gym class, were a lot of fun for my students. Many of them came to me and told me how much they enjoyed these activities. Each game has different rules, but they all have the same goal: learn about the game, learn the rules, practice and then try your best in a friendly competition. These resources will be used for Fun Day, and other events during the school year! Thank you again from my students and myself!”

  • Spiral Binding for Student Success!

    Funded Jan 21, 2024

    Thank you for your generous donation of the Spiral Binding Machine. It has aided with increasing student engagement and more learning opportunities. The product enables students to journal their progress in gym class. They now have the ability to keep track of certain accomplishments and can see visually that they are improving. As a result, this product enables students, who think they are not making any progress in phys ed class, to see that they actually are improving and learning how to do that. It will be used for years to come, and hopefully include some new ways of helping Moffet scholars succeed. Thanks again!”

  • Safe Padding for the Gym Sports Team and Club!

    Funded Jan 3, 2024

    We are using our new equipment and resources every single day at Moffet! Our new mats are perfect for the student-athletes in our after school sport's clubs/teams. Our soccer club/team uses the mats to create safe boundaries, play short-sided games, and serve as a target for shooting and passing.

    The mats are beneficial towards my student-athlete's strength and conditioning. We place them on the ground and student athlete's can now perform new exercises because they can sit or lay comfortably. Learning new exercises, and using new muscles, is a crucial part of physical education.

    When my student-athlete's first saw the padding set up around the gym they couldn't wait to get started. I noticed they performed at a higher level on the first day we used the equipment! We use the equipment to work on changing direction quickly and remaining in control. My student-athlete's use the resources to play and practice with each other, every day.

    Our next steps are to train and prepare to play in a tournament that will take place at the end of the year! We will be competing against teams from other schools, and the excitement level is at an all time high! Go Moffet!”

  • Basketball All-Stars

    Funded Jan 3, 2024

    My students used these basketballs and poly spots during our basketball unit. Having a class set of the small, size 4, basketballs was particularly impactful for my younger students (K-3), and their smaller sized hands. It enabled me to teach them the same shooting, passing, and ball handling activities that I do with older students. My older students were happy that they got brand new size 5 basketballs with good grip to use during class. The poly spots were useful for learning correct shooting form, and games students love like Around The World. The basketball's are also used during my school's after-school programs, such as Sports Club and Playworks!”

  • Parachuting With a Purpose!

    Funded Jan 18, 2024

    I used the resources in every one of my classes (K-5), and every single one of my 250 students benefitted. The parachute and it's activities helped reinforce the importance of teamwork and communication. Student's quickly realized that in order to be successful, everyone must be on the same page. Most of my students were starstruck when they saw the parachute laid out on the gym floor, and some commented on how pretty and calming it looked. At the end of the unit, all of my classes/students were able to perform the parachute activities, and explain what helped them be successful. Even though we have now moved on to a new unit, students ask me everyday when they will get to use the parachute again!”
