My Project

We are a very active PE school that does a lot of activities in our gym. The kids love dodgeball because it allows them to practice a variety of skills and also compete against their classmates in a fun and safe way.

This project is simple.

We simply want to be able to continue to play the various games we expose them to using gator skin balls. That allows us to safely teach throwing, catching, dodging, and many other skills, to name a few.

We are a K4 through 5th elementary school where over 75% of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch. PE is a vital part of the kids' daily schedule and allows us to continue to help them with growth physically, mentally, and socially. Help us to replace our worn-out balls with new ones so that we can continue to help them love physical activity. Thank you!
