My Project

The acquisition of pickleball and picnic game equipment will significantly benefit my school by fostering a more engaging and physically active environment for students. This initiative not only addresses the need for improved physical fitness post-COVID, but also ensures that students have access to safe and enjoyable activities.

As a result of COVID 19, our students have shown a decline in activity levels which PE class being their only physical outlet for many.

To address these challenges, we propose the acquisition of essential physical education equipment, including pickleball gear and picnic games. This initiative aims to enhance student participation, promote physical fitness, and provide safe recreational activities both indoors and in our limited outdoor space. We would be honored and thankful for your help as our resources are minimal and our equipment is out of date.
