FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gibson's classroom raised $2,430

This project is fully funded

My Students

Constellation Schools is "the right choice for parents and a real chance for children." Our outstanding educators put their students first, creating lessons that are both engaging and preparation for a successful future. A group of teachers has dedicated their time to teach students another type of lesson.

The basketball and volleyball coaches at Constellation Schools work together to teach our future leaders sportsmanship, healthy living, and teamwork.

Coaches teach their athletes to be respectful, responsible, and safe. As our community of schools grows, our athletics will grow.

My Project

Members of the Constellation Athletics Committee have been working hard to improve the program. They realize for a basketball and volleyball program to run smoothly materials are needed. Currently many of the schools are struggling to provide equipment for their athletes.

Sports are an important extracurricular that motivates our students to uphold positive behaviors and strive for success in academics.

The donations made to the program will be distributed among the schools in the most need of equipment. Our goal is make athletics a positive experience for our athletes and families. The coaches will teach their players responsibility, as they are taught how to take care of equipment properly.

First aid kits will be given to each school in the event they are needed. Coaches currently struggle to organize first aid items. The Constellation organization realizes how important our athletes safety is. Basketballs and volleyballs that remain after distribution to schools, along with bags, will be present at every game for the teams that need to use them.
