Mrs. Rowely from Sheboygan WI is requesting sports & exercise equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

It's Racket Time!

Help me give my students new tennis balls for the upcoming season. We have just begun our athletic program for our students and want to give them the chance to have fun and learn a new competitive sport.

My Students

Our students are smart, ambitious, and driven to succeed when given the opportunity and assistance. Our students come from low-income homes, rural neighborhoods, and diverse backgrounds. Our athletic program is an outlet from the everyday stress of their home lives. Through sports, we can teach these great kids teamwork and independence. We can teach them the values of working hard, the importance of setting goals, and working hard to achieve those goals.

My Project

We need new tennis balls for our tennis team. We are required to supply new balls for each match when competing. We would like to have a supply as a backup for practice and the ability to office our students lots of practice time. We have rackets but need the balls to go with it. Please help us compete this season with our new balls. We have a team of 35 students who compete in 15 matches each season. Our school purchases a small number of balls but we need more. Thank you for all your help.
