My Project

Basketball and football means the world to my students because it is a time when they are out of their rooms, working together, and exercising their bodies. Thanks to many of the counselors at our school, we have been running a pretty successful basketball and football program.

When our students play basketball and football with a group of lawyers, probations officers, or even other housing units, it builds relationships that have been damaged.

My students need new basketballs, footballs, and a basketball related game for these activities. Please help me help my students by continuing to support this important program by helping provide the resources to keep this going. Sports mean so much to my students and it has been so meaningful that DonorsChoose continues to support them in their efforts. Thank you for considering.

Ms. Mercurio
Grades 6-8
