My Project

We are once again asking for help enhancing the physical education experience for our students. Our goal is to acquire folding tumbling mats for the P.E. classroom, providing a safe and dynamic space for our students to explore movement and develop physical skills.

Your donation will directly impact my students' well-being, fostering a love for fitness and teamwork.

Together, we can create an environment that promotes health and happiness for these young minds. Your generosity will make a lasting difference in their lives.

Please consider contributing to this important cause. Thank you for your kindness.

Mr. Simmers
Grades 3-5
