My Project

The students at our school have been working on building a weight and fitness room. Last year a group of students began planning and working to build a fitness room for all students and staff to use.

We've been fortunate to receive donations of equipment but are looking for new, multifunctional equipment to help our kids find a love and connection to lifelong fitness.

We are looking to add a Bowflex complete system, some Bowflex dumbells, Bowflex barbells, and TRX system.

Weightlifting, yoga, fitness, and nutrition carry so much importance for not only physical wellness but mental wellness. Students will have a safe place to build their confidence, self-image, and connections with staff and other students.
