My Students

Imagine basketball practice with not enough basketballs to go around to all participants - pretty difficult to practice!

My students are energetic middle school students that are on the basketball team.

They are leaders of the school and show a high standard in both academics and also athletics. They try to excel at everything they do. These students enjoy practicing basketball and building team relationships.

My Project

I am requesting 5 indoor basketballs, 1 cart to transport the balls to and from practice and 1 score book. This will allow all of the athletes to develop their skills when another group has the basketballs. The cart will allow us to have an organized practice to make things more efficient!

Bounce, Bounce, Bounce - the perfect sound to hear during basketball practice.

Help us allow all of the athletes to practice and improve their skills during practice. Athletics and academics help to develop a well rounded student!
