My Students

Our students' classroom mission statement is, "You have two choices... You can either survive or you can choose to succeed!" Our students need the appropriate supplies in order to help them along the way!

My students are comprised of 6th-8th grade inner city students.

The school they attend is a Title I school with very little PE equipment and funding. Our school has progressed greatly over the last year and we want to continue to improve! The students love to play sports and participate in extra-curricular activities!

My Project

Providing the students with quality PE is very important to their overall health and academic success. Having access to quality basketballs will not only provide happiness to my students it will also give them another avenue to success. The students will not only be able to play basketball in PE class, they will also be able to develop essential motor functions through different skill activities. Another important lesson basketball will teach my students is cooperative game play.

Our broad spectrum of students need stability and support.

Providing the students with new equipment not only helps to build a stable PE program, it also helps to build trust between the students and the teacher. Please help out in anyway that you can! Thank you!
