My Project

As the PE Coach I work with every female student in each grade. As we approach Spring, I would like to create an engaging and interactive experience for students. I will be facilitating a Spring Festival for students that will consist of a variety of activities to get them physical and active! But I would also like to offer them food options.

This hot dog machine will be used to provide hot dogs for students interested, at no cost, during the festival.

They will be able to earn tickets based on class performance and positive behavior to get a treat such as a hot dog! The ketchup, mustard and relish will be provided to students with the hotdogs. And the trays will be used to serve the hot dogs.
