My Students

The students at my school are eager to learn, ready to try new things, and are always up for a challenge. My students work hard to improve their skills and do not give up until they have succeeded. They show tenacity, integrity, and GRIT.

The students at my school are blazing a trail, strive to do better than yesterday, and always try their best.

They are warm- hearted, kind, and willing to help their classmates and friends.

My Project

Please help provide my students with more equipment to keep them safe, engaged, and active. Childhood obesity is not going away, and it is my duty as a Physical Educator to enhance the physical activity levels of my students through knowledge of a living a healthy lifestyle. Students that participate regularly in physical activities are more likely to stay active and live healthy lives as they transition into teens and adults. As a teacher and a coach, I would love to offer my students multiple opportunities to stay active through activities and games that strike their interest. Please help me create a healthier, more active, and most importantly, safe PE environment.
