Project Goal

Our Goal with this project is to help our student population with their physical health, and their mental and emotional wellbeing. It is proven that exercise helps students to improve their academic performance, fight obesity and create a healthy lifestyle. Our school is specially in need of programs that incorporate tools like exercise for our students. We work with students in high poverty areas that go through many emotional and physical hardships every day. Our main goals are to provide the best school experience for our students and to teach them the moral values that will help them make the best choices. These values would include cooperation, unconditional love, respect and responsibility. We want to provide the emotional and physical support these students need and deserve. One of the clubs we want to create is Miles for Smiles. This Club will join Mileage Club by Fitness Finders. This will provide a Fitness environment for the students, in which they will be taught values through running, walking, cooperating with others and having accountability for their actions. Due to the socioeconomic status of our community, finding funds to help our students can be a challenge. Because of this, we are looking for assistance to fund our project to help our students have the best experience physically, socially and emotionally.

How Project Benefits Students

Furthermore, as educators it is our responsibility to teach our students how to maintain a proper health. We will give our students the tools, knowledge and skills necessary to have an optimal physical and emotional wellbeing. Our students face so many issues daily, including difficult home lives, peer pressure, work overload, and negative influences outside school. Giving our kids the opportunity to participate in activities, such as a 5k, is a once in a lifetime opportunity for some of our students. We greatly want to provide our students with this beautiful experience, that otherwise they would never have.

Expected Outcome(s)

Our expected outcome, if the necessary funding is provided, is to have the necessary equipment to run a successful club in our school, from which our students will benefit greatly. We expect our students to improve their instructional learning time, have a healthier lifestyle and incorporate the values learned through participation in the club.
