Mr. Teater from Allen KY is requesting sports & exercise equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Catch Baseballs Not Trouble!

Help me give my students the ability to play baseball. We are just not starting a baseball program at our school. We need everything to bring this dream to reality, we need catching gear!

My Students

My students come from rural Eastern Kentucky, most of which are from a low social-economic status. We have a high majority of our students with free or reduced lunch. We are a small school that tries to give not only a great classroom education but also opportunities to play sports outside the classroom.

We want all our students to know that they are special and they are loved by all.

Our local area suffers as do many from the drug crisis, by having after school sports for our student we offer a way to keep kids out of trouble. Our teachers and coaches work around the clock to better our students.

My Project

Our school is just not starting a baseball program at our school. We will offer a varsity and JV team to our middle school students. Just starting a program we have little to no equipment. This program will help keep our students out of trouble outside of school and help give them a better chance to make a high school team.

This catching gear will be our main set of protection for our catchers.

Our students will be great full to know that not only their teachers love them but that people they may never meet love and care for them as well! Thank you for your consideration.
