Spring Cleaning? PE Would Love These Items!

3/8/2024 9:45 pm

Our amazing PE teachers use puzzles, board games, scooters, and beanie babies for some unique and enriching curriculum. If you are doing any cleaning and willing to donate please drop off in the gym or send to school with your student.

On the wish list are: balance and gross motor type equipment, large piece puzzles, beanie babies, silicone bracelets, and remote controlled cars.

If you have anything else and are not sure if they can be used please email them at lduffy@d181.org or kconway@d181.org and check.

Here are a few photos of a juggling/puzzle race, which incorporated teamwork, visual tracking, STEM, and cardiovascular fitness!
