My Students

With childhood obesity on the rise, it is becoming more and more important that our children are moving their bodies with active play and exercise daily. What better way than to combine the two activities with scooters to ride during recess??!!

My students are energetic kindergarteners who love to run, jump and play.

They work really hard learning in the classroom and are excited to play during recess and burn off some energy. Our school is small, located in a low socioeconomic area. Many families in the area do not have access to the basic living necessities. Our school is a resource, not just for education, but for the other aspects of life as well.

My Project

My school has limited funds to purchase play equipment for recess time. There is also a larger group of students in Kindergarten this school year, and the limited equipment that is available has to be shared with over 100 other students. They are learning to share and be patient while waiting their turn, but more equipment would give them more opportunities to play and exercise at recess. My kindergarteners live in the inner city and many don't have bikes, scooters, etc of their own to play with at home. Recess at school is their one opportunity to engage in active play and exercise for many of my students. With the addition of new scooters to our play equipment, my students will be able to exercise and have fun with their friends at school. Scooters will also help them to get moving, improve their motor skills and reduce their risk of childhood obesity.

Donations will help my students along the path of living a healthy lifestyle.

They will have an opportunity to play and be kids, while exercising and burning calories, with the addition of two scooters to our play equipment for recess.
