My Project

At RES we are dedicated to fostering a love for physical activity and a foundation for healthy living among our diverse student body. As a Title I school, we are committed to providing equitable access to high-quality educational tools and environments for all our students. Our Physical Education (PE) program plays a crucial role in this commitment, and we seek to enhance it further with your support.

We aim to create an enriched learning experience in our Physical Education classes through a collection of instant activities designed to quickly engage students and facilitate meaningful learning.

The equipment in this grant will transform our PE classes by enabling me to quickly implement engaging activities that promote both physical fitness and a deep understanding of health and wellness concepts. This will make physical education more enjoyable for all students.

This grant will provide immediate and engaging activities to get students moving as soon as they enter the PE classroom. It will further address critical standards such as catching skills, identifying active play opportunities, understanding the benefits of physical activity, and recognizing the role of nutrition in fitness.

It will also, encourage students to reflect on and discuss the benefits of physical activity and healthy eating.

I kindly request your support in funding this project to help us equip our Physical Education program with the tools needed to inspire and educate our students. Your contribution will make a lasting impact on their physical development and overall well-being.
