Help us make a basket in PE

My Students

I teach in a Title I school in rural South Carolina. My students love PE and enjoy physical activity but we lack proper equipment.

Every day my students come into the gym and ask, "What are we going to do today Coach Lever?!" And with proper equipment, my answers could be endless!

Many of our students live in apartments and public housing, meaning they don't have the opportunity to participate in team sports. PE is the way to bridge the gap!

My Project

This equipment will help each student learn and develop their skills to properly perform the dribble, pass, and shooting techniques used in the game of basketball.

Since I teach PreK to 5th grade students, it is important that I have equipment that is size appropriate for each age.

Thus, the equipment that will be purchased allows for each grade level to learn and hone skills while progressing through each developmental stage.

This is my first year at this school but the school is 12 years old. Much of the available equipment shows 12 years of use by 500+ kids every year.
