Mr. Rodrigo from Brooklyn NY is requesting sports & exercise equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Hockey for Our Scholars

My students need to be exposed to all types of athletics and my school is lacking hockey equipment. Our scholars will really appreciate learning a great new game.

Celebrating Black History Month

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

Our school consists of both general education and special education Inner city youth. The School is located in Fort Greene Brooklyn. My students very much enjoy physical education classes. Some mentioned a curiosity for hockey. So I decided to try DonorsChoose.org. All my students will benefit from a donation and would love the chance to play hockey. We will use the equipment in recess as well as in physical education classes for school wide tournaments. Any assistance would be really appreciate. If and when we are funded I will upload some pictures of the scholars enjoying the donation. Thanks

My Project

The scholars would really love learning hockey and it would also expose them to a new game besides basketball.

Many of my students came up to me and mentioned that they would like to try hockey.

I had to turn them down because we did not have any hockey equipment. So this donation will really help teach my inner city scholars the basics of hockey and sportsmanship/ teamwork that comes along with it. We also would be able to make teams and have some fun tournaments during PE and lunch.
