Cooler for Cross-Country Team

Help me give my students a secure place to store their water bottles during cross-country practice!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hakanson-Stacy's classroom raised $646

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The CHS Cross-Country team goes for runs in the neighborhoods around our high school and at Forest Park. In the past, we have had our gear stolen while working out. We now try to lock our gear in a car while practicing. However, we generally leave our water bottles unattended or locked in the car.

This cooler and the locking devices would give us a safe place to lock our water bottles while we practice.

Students would be able to get water without having to go back to the car. Students would also be able to have sanitary water options rather than relying on the water fountains in the field.

Please help us stay hydrated this season! Go Golden Eagles!
