Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Having access to high-quality physical education equipment is essential for students to develop healthy habits and lead active lifestyles. Unfortunately, many schools lack the resources to provide students with the equipment they need to stay active and engaged in PE class. That's why I'm starting this fundraiser to upgrade our school's PE equipment, allow for simpler transitions from activity to activity! I am also incorporating lessons on the importance of giving back to your community. Research shows that giving back helps boost a kid's self-esteem, instills a sense of empathy, and establishes a lifelong commitment to being a positive force in their communities. It can motivate them to take on positive projects in the future and and mold them to be compassionate and empathetic. This is my hope as well.

I am asking for items needed for a car wash fundraiser.

Soap, hose protector and hose attachments are desperately needed. With your help, I can provide my students with the tools they need to improve their physical fitness, enhance their motor skills, and develop teamwork and leadership abilities.

By donating to our fundraiser, you can help us create a safe, fun, and engaging PE experience that will benefit our students for years to come!
