CONGRATULATIONS, SYLVIA!!! :)
Thank you to everyone who donated to help support such an amazing cause! Sylvia- you seriously rock, girl!!! Big Hollow is so very proud to have you here!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS TO CARRIE MILLER and THE PE DEPARTMENT!
"Big Hollow has a fantastic Physical Education program. The need for new equipment is an ongoing process. This year we would like to add agility rings to our program. Agility rings are the perfect fitness tool for training to improve in a sport or conditioning and weight loss. Students can make major strides towards improving acceleration and lateral speed, while enhancing balance, rhythm , body control. They can be used to move slow, warm up before a workout, or to move fast and maximize intensity. Agility rings can also be used to enhance student motivation and creativity in various fitness games. This will impact over 1,000 kindergarten through fourth grade students."
