My students need running shoes! They want comfortable running shoes. My students want to start a running team but they can't afford proper running shoes. For them school is the only place to be active and safe because the violence in the community makes the parks unsafe. These inexpensive running shoes will allow my students to be active throughout the school day! They will use them during P.E., recess, during brain breaks in between learning activities and in the running team. This kid-inspired project will keep my students active and healthy! They will also build self confidence. Being active at an early age guarantees their future to be a healthy one! Thank you for considering our project.
