My Project

Our students with cognitive disabilities need highly motivating opportunities for movement during their day. At our Transition Services, we work to develop programming that will help our students live well balanced lives after they graduate.

A Nintendo Switch and fitness games will help our students develop wellness routines they can continue beyond their time with us.

Our building does not have a formal gym space. With winter around the corner we need to find a way to keep our students active and working toward their fitness goals indoors.

Using a Switch for fitness opens up a world of possibilities that families can continue with their students into adulthood.

Ms. Maria Focus Beyond Transition Services Grades 9-12

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
