My Project

As a teacher of nearly 800 students, I strive to provide them with the best learning experiences possible, but I face a significant challenge: inadequate storage solutions. Without proper shelving units, essential materials like balls, cones, and jump ropes are often strewn about or stacked precariously, leading to damage and wastage. Consequently, I find myself discarding items each year due to a lack of space, hindering our ability to provide consistent and enriching PE lessons. By donating to our Donorschoose project, you'll enable us to acquire the storage shelving units desperately needed to organize and preserve our materials effectively. Not only will these shelves help us eliminate waste and maximize resources, but they will also allow me to purchase materials with confidence, knowing they can be used from year to year. With proper storage in place, I can focus on creating innovative and impactful lessons that inspire my students to lead healthy, active lives."

Our goals for this project are twofold: first, to secure the necessary storage solutions to effectively organize and preserve our PE materials, and second, to create a sustainable and enriching learning environment for our students.

These shelving units will enable us to eliminate waste and maximize resources, allowing us to invest in high-quality materials that can be utilized from year to year. With proper storage in place, we aim to enhance the overall quality of our PE program and provide consistent, engaging learning experiences for our students."

What makes our students special is their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn. They deserve a learning environment that supports their growth and encourages their passion for physical activity. With your support, we can provide them with the resources they need to thrive and reach their full potential
