Project School PE
There are many school districts in our state without suitable physical education facilities, and there are no funds to remedy the problem. Right now students may have PE in a classroom full of desks that is shared with music and art. Fitness is nearly impossible in this situation. Weather prevents outdoor activity for much of the year. With many of our students choosing sedentary habits at home, movement activities are crucial at school. With 17% of our children at the obesity level and the staggering state healthcare costs due to obesity, we cannot afford to ignore this problem.
For this project, school districts in the state will compete for physical education facilities and/ or equipment to be placed in their district. Each student in the district will be pre- and post tested during the contest time period. The school district whose students exhibit the most fitness improvement will win facilities/ equipment for their district. This is where we need your help-- in the funding of these facilities. We would greatly appreciate your generous donation toward this great cause. You may mail in your pledge or make your donations here online. Thank you very much.
