WGS is located on the lost coast of California in an area that is so remote, California Highway 1 stops before you reach it. This beautiful community school exists because the residents wanted their children to go to school in the same community in which they lived. The parents came together to build the school using their own resources and skills. It is a magical, forested setting located on the side of a mountain where everyone is family. The students have attended school together their entire lives. They know and love each other as only a family can.
My Project
This year my students have asked to learn a new sport during P.E. class and the sport that was chosen was Lacrosse. The students have been slowly working on improving their health and fitness levels. The school and P.E. department are also working on improving the P.E. curriculum that we offer during the year. In order to learn the sport of lacrosse, we need the appropriate equipment to ensure the safety and success of my students. We need a class set of lacrosse sticks and balls, as well as two helmets one for each goalie to wear.
Lacrosse is a great opportunity for our students to expand their athletic abilities and their abilities to work cooperatively.
The teamwork and communication skills needed to be successful as a lacrosse team will challenge my students in new and interesting ways. I look forward to providing my students the opportunity to learn and grow as lacrosse players and as team members.
