My Project

I currently work in a Title I school, where families don't always have the funds to supply their students with what they need to be successful. This does not only impact us for academics, but also for sports. Our school provides a good chunk of equipment for students because they cannot afford it. While we do have some equipment, this Donors Choose project is meant to gather MORE equipment so I can have a full team for this season!

My students are special because they never ask for more, they are always so understanding with what they are given.

It would be great to provide them with things that can really make a difference for their season this year.

These equipment pieces will help them increase their skills in hand eye coordination, batting, fielding, and the concept of "sharing." It would be great to have more of these things so my students can thrive, and most importantly, have fun!
