New Yoga Mats In Action!

During the 25/26 school year Forestdale Gym teachers, Kristin MacDonald & Nikki DeNardo, came to the PTA requesting funds for 24 new hanging yoga mats. The yoga mats they had in their closet were very old, coming apart, and not realistic for the k-2 students to roll up properly when they were done.

Upon further discussion during the meeting, specifically about the up to 48 students they can have in the gym (2 classes at a time), our PTA decided to fund up to $1700 for 48 yoga mats.

The yoga mats are used in many PE class activities and we all love getting our students moving and meditating throughout the school day. This week the yoga mats were put to use and it was a big hit! Students moved around to different stations and did different activities at each station.

A second grade student came home after school saying "We did yoga in gym today and I think I fell asleep at the end!"
