My Students

WGS is located on the lost coast of California in an area that is so remote, California Highway 1 stops before you reach it. This beautiful community school exists because the residents wanted their children to go to school in the same community in which they lived. The parents came together to build the school using their own resources and skills. It is a magical, forested setting located on the side of a mountain where everyone is family. The students have attended school together their entire lives. They know and love each other as only a family can.

My Project

This is the very first year for organized sports at our rural small school. We hope that it will be a continuous and successful program at our school. To help our basketball program get of the ground, we need supplies, lots of supplies.

Our students need basketballs, storage equipment, and lines to use as the court outline in our multiple purpose room.

Our "gym" has a hoop but nothing else. The outline will create the key so that the students can see where the free throw line is, where the three point line is, and where they line up for free throws. The basketball will help the students practice their shots, run plays, and work as team. The storage will keep everything out of the way when the multiple purpose room needs to be used for the other students.

The students are amazingly excited about the opportunity to play on a team together. They have been talking about this program happening for about three years and it is finally feasible.
