My Project

We are kicking off the second half of the school year, and now that I've really gotten to know my students I can understand and appreciate that they're an overall energetic group.

I would like to provide all of my students an opportunity to get their energy out in a discreet yet effective way.

I see six groups of students throughout the day, as well as different groups on Fridays, all of whom could benefit from access to this resource.

Supporting this project will provide me with resistance bands to put on all of my student chairs, and students can have the choice of whether or not to use them throughout class.
