Every Kid Gets a Book, Every Kid Gets a Ball.

Help me give my students soccer balls and Koosh balls to use as quality PE equipment. With a budget of $0, I have been lucky to put together a strong program with what we had.

FULLY FUNDED! Coach Sawyer's classroom raised $198

My Project

I am new to my elementary this year, but I am not new to teaching. For the first time in my career, I was given a budget of $0. Thankfully, the PE teacher before me had curated a decent amount of equipment that I have been able to build a good program with. There are a couple gaps in our equipment like soccer balls and Koosh balls that could bring us to the next level. With our district being so underfunded, I and the kids are excited for any extra equipment we might be able to get. It also takes o little to be able to offer a program that will reach a whole different group of interests.
