My Project

McKinley Middle School is the fastest-growing & only STEM-focused middle school in DC. We have the perfect mixture of rigorous academics & competitive sports teams.

However, our resources are limited.

Many of our athletic teams are completely out of the pockets of our dedicated coaches and parents.

Our Gator cheerleading team is in need of uniforms, mats, practice & performance equipment. The team continues to persevere (both on the mat and in the classroom), but help us give them the keys to be successful. Your donations will be used at every practice, every game, every performance.

Ms. Vincent McKinley Technical Middle School Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
