My Project

My students are an incredible group of young learners who thrive when given opportunities to engage in teamwork, problem-solving, and physical activity. By incorporating basketballs and badminton nets into their learning environment, I can offer activities that go beyond traditional academics, helping them develop critical life skills like collaboration, perseverance, and leadership.

The goals for this equipment are to enhance our physical education program by teaching motor skills, coordination, and teamwork while promoting a healthy competitive environment.

Playing team sports like basketball encourages students to work together, communicate effectively, and respect one another. Badminton offers opportunities for individual growth and friendly competition.

Your support will help create a well-rounded educational experience that meets my students’ physical, emotional, and social needs. Together, we can give them the tools to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
