My Project

We love our students for their energy, determination, and the joy they bring to learning each day. They are always eager to explore new activities, support one another, and grow both physically and socially.

Adding lacrosse sticks to our PE class would open the door to a dynamic, fast-paced sport that promotes teamwork, coordination, and confidence.

It’s an exciting way to keep students active, engaged, and challenged while giving them the chance to try something new and empowering. With the right equipment, we can create inclusive games that every student can enjoy, regardless of skill level. Your support will help us build a positive, encouraging environment where students can thrive through movement and play.
