Building Brains and Muscles

Help me give my students dumbbells for our weight room so we can workout safely and without injury. The 100lb dumbbells that we currently have are cracked and bent and need replacing along with the other size dumbbells.

FULLY FUNDED! Coach Smith's classroom raised $1,261

My Students

The majority of our students come from low socioeconomic homes, but that doesn’t stop them from tryIng to overcome their disadvantages and succeed. They are hard workers just looking for kind heart and helping hand.

Our small rural community is home to various types of kids that always seem to pull together as one.

We are a very small school where different grade levels interact daily with each other. Working with multiple grade levels, I have the ability to effect a number of students during the year.

Please help me try to become a difference maker in their lives.

Please help me try to become a difference maker in their lives. Their hard work and can do attitude deserve this chance. This weight equipment will help my students reach their team and personal goals they have set for themselves in the classroom. Our students work very hard to each and every week, but we could use better resources to make sure those efforts are not wasted. While we are a small school, we have big goals! These dumbbells will allow us to work out more efficiently during our limited practice time. Please help our students reach their goals with this project.
