FULLY FUNDED! Teacher Peterson's classroom raised $494

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach Physical Education at an elementary school located in North Miami. My students now have recess in addition to PE, which means that the demand for physical education supplies has almost doubled in order to accommodate all students.

My school has a high number of students who were affected after Hurricane Irma devastated our community and now we are welcoming students from Puerto Rico who were displaced by Hurricane Maria.

My school also has a high number of students who are high poverty, ESOL, and ELL, and there are a few who are Special Education and gifted.

Our students love to exercise, but due to the devastation of the hurricanes, the parks, and surrounding grounds are still not safe for them to play in.

My Project

The construction of our new P.E. court was completed last year, so our students are no longer restricted to a regular classroom or sometimes the grass area outside as there are no grounds for sports, as before. I now find more activities, especially since we were given an interim P.E. teacher to accommodate the growing number of students we are receiving on a daily basis.

We have finally brought back our cheerleading team to life but some of our girls are too little or too big to fit into the uniforms we got funded from DonorsChoose.org.

In some cases, we had to switch tops and bottoms to fit our girls (bigger tops/smaller skirts and vice versa). Five girls currently need uniforms that can fit them. Your donation would help these five girls and other girls that are similar sizes, be part of our cheerleading team and be able to participate in full uniform.
