My Students

Remember when you were a kid and one of the best things abut playing was running around, chasing your friends and being outside. Unfortunately, nowadays, our kids get more exercise on their fingers than their feet.

I work in an underprivileged school, near low income housing, in downtown LA.

All students receive free breakfast, lunch, and after school programs. Despite the lack of resources, these kids are bright and eager to learn, scoring 814 out of 1000 in standardized testing for our school.

My Project

I'm requesting a class set of frisbees for my class, a set that I'll use over and over to teach kids throughout the years how to throw, aim, and catch a frisbee. They'll also learn how to play ultimate frisbee, frisbee golf, and other fun games. They'll learn teamwork, regain a sense of playing outside, and enjoying some good old fashion running around, and being active.

Not only will these frisbees help me fulfill a PE standard required by the state, they'll give the students a chance to learn a new game that doesn't require a plug.

Active kids = healthy kids.
