    • AdoptAGymKM Oct 10 @ 8:06 PM EDT
      Q1: What is your biggest question about Adopt-a-Gym (AAG)? What is your understanding of what AAG is? Remember, there are no wrong answers!
  • SaraWoodPE Oct 10 @ 8:09 PM EDT
    lol fixed that #espechat
    In reply to @AdoptAGymKM
  • PEbyMrE Oct 10 @ 8:10 PM EDT
    A1: You fundraise money for your "adopted" gym so they can use that new equipment #espechat
  • Mr_C_PE Oct 10 @ 8:10 PM EDT
    A1) A program that allows schools to partner with one another in the name of doing what's good and right #espechat
  • MrCsajko - Moderator Oct 10 @ 8:10 PM EDT
    A1: How do you select schools "in need?" What is the criteria? #espechat
  • Mr_Chev_PE Oct 10 @ 8:10 PM EDT
    Q1: What are the type of schools that receive funding? Is there a certain number of F/R lunch number they are looking for? #espechat
  • AdoptAGymKM Oct 10 @ 8:11 PM EDT
    #espechat It starts with the teacher that believes in philanthropy & helping those in need. They reach out to school to help with PE equip.
  • Mr_C_PE Oct 10 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    Not sure. @AdoptAGymKM can you give us insight on this? #espechat
    In reply to @Mr_Chev_PE, @AdoptAGymKM
  • AdoptAGymKM Oct 10 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    What a great start to the conversation! Here's Q2: What is your experience with conducting fundraisers and collecting donations? #espechat
  • MrCsajko - Moderator Oct 10 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    Great question #espechat
    In reply to @Mr_Chev_PE
  • smsandino Oct 10 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    A1 Raise money for schools in need/don’t have the means. What’s the criteria for a school to qualify to be adopted? #espechat
  • dfeister Oct 10 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    Very little experience with fundraising #espechat

  • MrCsajko - Moderator Oct 10 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    #espechat
    • AdoptAGymKM Oct 10 @ 8:13 PM EDT
      The donor school has the option to help a school they know that are in need, if not, I can help find one for them.
  • GingerAaron Oct 10 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A2) Not much...usually get #physed funding through grants not fundraisers. #espechat
  • Mr_Chev_PE Oct 10 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A2: Walk A Thons have been a huge success in previous years. Usually sign up for grants to help with funds too #espechat
  • PEbyMrE Oct 10 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A2: It can be frustrating & time consuming to do (JRFH, Terry Fox), but if the reasoning is sound & can impact others - worth it #espechat
  • Mr_C_PE Oct 10 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    Main fundraiser for @hcpss_waves is JR4H. @PEwithMsHeisey has coordinated it the last 8 years at our school #espechat

    Q1. Can we give you US Games certificates we get from AHA For Jump Rope for Heart to give to other schools? #espechat
  • Mr_C_PE Oct 10 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    Flat donations? Per lap donations? Both? #espechat
    In reply to @PhysEdApps, @AdoptAGymKM
  • PhysEdApps - Moderator Oct 10 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    That's a great idea Pete! #espechat
    In reply to @CapnPetesPE
  • AdoptAGymKM Oct 10 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    #espechat AAG offers 100% of donations to schools that need it. It's hard to know what AHA & JRFH does with the donations.
  • Mr_C_PE Oct 10 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    Definitely a great question! #espechat
    In reply to @CapnPetesPE
  • PhysEdApps - Moderator Oct 10 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    Flat rates so we don't have to go back and ask for the money later. #espechat
    In reply to @Mr_C_PE, @AdoptAGymKM
  • GingerAaron Oct 10 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    Blue Cross/Blue Shield state grants, Target Field Trip grants, state & national JRFH, ASAP, to name a few #espechat

    In reply to @GingerAaron
  • Mr_C_PE Oct 10 @ 8:19 PM EDT
    Agreed. The water is a little muddy when it comes to where the $ goes and how much for JR4H... #espechat

    Don't know about anyone else, but do you earn a certain amount for your $$$ you earn from JRFH towards equip. @ your school? #espechat

    #espechat
    In reply to @PhysEdApps, @AdoptAGymKM

    #espechat Remember that PE is almost always the last place that receives help/budgeting!
  • Mr_Chev_PE Oct 10 @ 8:21 PM EDT
    How much do you raise off 5k Rich? #espechat

    Keeps me busy, for sure. One way that I can advocate for my program. #espechat
    In reply to @Mr_C_PE, @PhysEdApps
  • PEbyMrE Oct 10 @ 8:21 PM EDT
    Like that idea, wish I could use it, but low socio-economic status makes it undoable #espechat
    In reply to @PhysEdApps, @Mr_C_PE, @AdoptAGymKM
  • AdoptAGymKM Oct 10 @ 8:22 PM EDT
    Loving the dialogue! Thanks to everyone involved! Q3.Do you run an annual fitness event outside of school hours? If so what kind? #espechat
  • PhysEdApps - Moderator Oct 10 @ 8:22 PM EDT
    Or lazy! Lots of extra work after the program. #espechat
    In reply to @Mr_C_PE, @AdoptAGymKM
  • Mr_C_PE Oct 10 @ 8:23 PM EDT
    We get like 5% of total amount raised each yr I think. Not sure if that # is getting cut due 2 current contract w/ AHA for this yr #espechat

    Give it a try, I think you could make some money but only expect people to bring in about $5 each. It does add up after a while. #espechat

  • MrCsajko - Moderator Oct 10 @ 8:23 PM EDT
    Ask you admin about community partners...sell sponsorships, help advertise based on donation amount #espechat

  • Mr_Chev_PE Oct 10 @ 8:24 PM EDT
    A3: FitnessGram during the day. Haven't tried anything out of school but would like to do a 5k eventually #espechat
  • MrCsajko - Moderator Oct 10 @ 8:24 PM EDT
    Just check legality of each marketing idea #espechat can be done though
    In reply to @PEbyMrE, @PhysEdApps, @Mr_C_PE, @AdoptAGymKM
  • GingerAaron Oct 10 @ 8:25 PM EDT
    A3: Prev, the Trick or Treat Trot fun run with $ benefitting the Arthritis Foundation. Now the Sham'ROCK 'n Roll fitness event. #espechat
  • PEbyMrE Oct 10 @ 8:25 PM EDT
    We earn a percentage of what we fundraise towards getting gift cards to spend for equip. for ourselves or donate #espechat
    In reply to @AdoptAGymKM
  • AdoptAGymKM Oct 10 @ 8:25 PM EDT
    #espechat One thing I've learned through AAG is it never hurts to ask! Vistaprint gave me free shipping that was $24 & I got a free logo!
  • smsandino Oct 10 @ 8:25 PM EDT
    A2 Really the only fundraiser we have is our Turkey Trot, based off of donations. There’s incentive ($20 gets you a free mi pass) #espechat
  • PEbyMrE Oct 10 @ 8:28 PM EDT
    A3: I've been meaning to start a XC run, but it always involves me taking Ss home after so it limits what I can do for time being #espechat
  • smsandino Oct 10 @ 8:28 PM EDT
    A3 My colleague runs an extension of fitness club during the summer called Sole Kids (run twice a week for about 8 weeks) #espechat
  • AdoptAGymKM Oct 10 @ 8:28 PM EDT
    #espechat I bet many of you became teachers to help students who need it. Now imagine multiplying the number you help exponentially thru AAG
  • Mr_C_PE Oct 10 @ 8:28 PM EDT
    A3) I've been just trying to focus on good teaching as of late.I feel like sometimes extra on the plate takes a bit away from that #espechat
  • PEbyMrE Oct 10 @ 8:29 PM EDT
    I usually leave that part up to my JRFH partner who also teaches Gr 5/6 #espechat
    In reply to @AdoptAGymKM
  • AdoptAGymKM Oct 10 @ 8:30 PM EDT
    Let's keep this ball rolling! Q4 What role do you think philanthropy plays in educating our students? How important is it to you? #espechat
  • MrCsajko - Moderator Oct 10 @ 8:30 PM EDT
    Same. I forgot how much of an uphill challenge, starting a new program is. Slow but steady is the motto, and basics is the key #espechat
    In reply to @Mr_C_PE
  • ChrisGrove_PE Oct 10 @ 8:30 PM EDT
    A3. Our county does a XC race and Jr olympics. Our school does a few wellness nights like Zumba and skill circuit like exhibition #espechat
  • PhysEdApps - Moderator Oct 10 @ 8:30 PM EDT
    I want to do a 5k also but we don't have the space on campus and not a great run. circle around community. #espechat

  • PhysEdApps - Moderator Oct 10 @ 8:31 PM EDT
    Sadly, it is SO important for #physed because we don't receive equal funding. #espechat
    In reply to @AdoptAGymKM
  • rich_wiles - Moderator Oct 10 @ 8:31 PM EDT
    A3. I support other groups. Try to find balance between home and work. Get your #HoustonStrong Shirts and #OPENPEHeart shirts too. #espechat
  • dfeister Oct 10 @ 8:31 PM EDT
    I have been exhausted every evening after school. it is difficult to add more to the plate. #espechat 1 reason I didn't do pt2 of a grant.
    In reply to @Mr_C_PE
  • PhysEdApps - Moderator Oct 10 @ 8:32 PM EDT
    How many in your school? I also got prizes, that motivated Ss to raise more. #espechat
    In reply to @PEbyMrE, @Mr_C_PE, @AdoptAGymKM

  • PhysEdApps - Moderator Oct 10 @ 8:33 PM EDT
    It would be 16 laps, it's hard to keep track of 16 laps times x number of people. #espechat

  • Mr_Chev_PE Oct 10 @ 8:34 PM EDT
    A4: Huge role in making your program a success. Usually overlooked in budget so we need to find/figure ways to be successful #espechat
  • rich_wiles - Moderator Oct 10 @ 8:37 PM EDT
    A4. The key is what does the organization want to accomplish? I always question motives. Must believe in the cause. #espechat
  • CapnPetesPE Oct 10 @ 8:37 PM EDT
    I have 730 at my school. We range from $15,000 to low 20's depending on the year for JRFH. Fairly high income area. #espechat
