My Project

With COVID we saw a rise in students' use of electronics and a lack of physical activity. We have made it an initiative to have our students physically active every school day. Our students are in a small community without access to outside organizations that could offer play or sports. We feel it is essential for our students to learn the benefits of physical activity for their bodies and their brains. We would love for our students to have lifelong joy in physical activity. With students having access to equipment such as basketballs, footballs, track batons, and track practice equipment we feel we could instill a passion in students that could last a lifetime.
