Operation: PE Filler-UP

Help me give my students the opportunity to explore several cooperative games that require minimal touching with these FlagHouse Fleece Balls. The balls with the markers and cones help to break down large groups to give maximum experience.

My Project

The products will help to replace items that are now worn and not attractive for student usage. No one wants a cracked cone or a ripped foam ball when they are preparing to gather supplies for their group activity.

The goal for these items is to always have enough to ensure that students will not have to wait to be included in the activity because there is a shortage of supplies.

We want to always have more than enough each day for all of our grade levels.

Our students are special because they are our Superstars and deserve to have the supplies and resources to come to their Physical Education class to remain actively engaged for the entire class time. Being able to provide them with the means to so would be absolute amazing and beneficial to their growth physically, emotionally and socially.
