My Project

This physical education equipment has the potential to transform the athletic experience at my school. As the first all-girls public school on Staten Island, I am eager to empower my young leaders through participation in sports and physical education classes.

Currently, our school shares space with two other institutions, which means that our physical education classes take place in various locations, including the gym, a classroom, and the cafeteria.

Introducing exercise mats and resistance bands would facilitate floor exercises no matter where we are. The addition of hacky sacks would introduce an exciting new sport to our students. Furthermore, volleyballs and basketballs would not only enhance our gym classes but also support our sports teams. The creative possibilities that come with cones and hula hoops are truly limitless.

One of my primary goals is for each student to discover at least one activity they are passionate about in physical education class and continue to pursue it. This initiative will allow them to develop a lasting love for physical activity and wellness.
