My Project

My students are nothing short of extraordinary. They show up every day with grit in their hearts, joy in their steps, and a spirit that refuses to quit. But while their enthusiasm is endless, our equipment is not. Right now, our physical education program is held together with worn-out jump ropes and missing shuttlecocks. The parachute has more holes than color, and our volleyballs are long past their prime. These kids deserve better—and with your help, they’ll get it.

This project is about more than just badminton rackets, birdies, jump ropes, a parachute, and volleyballs.

It’s about giving every student—regardless of background or ability—a chance to move, grow, and thrive. PE is where many kids first learn how to work as a team, to overcome failure, and to push their limits. It’s where confidence is built, friendships are formed, and memories are made that last far beyond the gym.

I want my gym to be a place where every child feels like a champion. A place where a jump rope turns into a tool for perseverance, where a volleyball rally teaches resilience, and where a colorful parachute becomes the canopy under which every student finds belonging.

As Knute Rockne once said, “Build up your weaknesses until they become your strong points.” With this equipment, we’ll do just that—building strength, skill, and spirit in every student who walks through our doors. With your support, we’ll turn ordinary gym days into extraordinary experiences that shape our students for life.

Let’s rally together and give these amazing kids the tools they need to play hard, dream big, and rise above.
