My Project
Hello, My name is Jim Jordan and I am a wellness teacher and coach at my middle school. We recently started an archery team at my school and I am trying to grow it so many more students can participate. Archery is hard to do when you have to struggle to get enough equipment to use or to even teach it. We are a school of around 500 and I teach the whole school the process but never get to involve the entire group because of the lack of equipment. I have 20 members on my after-school team and we struggle just to get enough donations to get through a season. I would like to grow the program and become self-supporting by having tournaments at my school. To do that I will need to have more bows, arrows, targets, nets, etc.
Archery is a lifelong sport and can teach students the value of individual work ethic and success.
I like the archery program because I get students from all different backgrounds and home situations that normally don't do anything at school extracurricularly. I want to provide them with this opportunity. Please help me at least start my program by providing my school with some arrows for my Genesis NASP program. Thank You.
