Coach Strickland from Thurmont MD is requesting sports & exercise equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Exercise for a Healthier Tomorrow

Help me give my students a healthier tomorrow! We desperately need two ProForm 250i Elliptical trainors as our school has 0 exercise equipment for entire student body to use.

My Students

We all work with great kids but what sets ours apart from others is the question. Our kids are passionate, they are driven, they are focused and they never give up. Some of our students come from less then favorable situations but they don't let that define them.

Our students put so much time into volunteering and helping others that it is time for us to step up and support them and show them that we care about their future!

Please help us to help them!

My Project

Our student body and sports teams currently have 0 exercise equipment and we need to change this! We are the only school in our county that does not have a cardio exercise room.

When it comes to rehabbing an injured athlete they are forced to either simply sit out or try to afford our local gym in order to re-hab their injury.

This should not be the case in 2020!

As great as it is to take students and athletes outside there are days that we just can't do that. Whether due to the rain, snow or freezing temperatures, running inside is not always the best answer due to the floors causing shin splints and actually decreasing the times that kids can be active.
