My Project

Hello Supporters! We are in a position where we have great kids and want to be active. Our equipment is old, outdated, and not good enough to keep up with the demand of our play.

We are looking to keep kids inspired about playing games, competing in PE class, and playing the fastest growing sport in the country.

We are looking for help to purchase Badminton equipment because we are daily losing quite a bit of equipment. The kids are taking care of it, but just through use and normal wear-and-tear, it is becoming challenging to play tournaments with all courts being used.

We hope this donation can last us a long time!

Mr. Shelsta
Grades 9-12
