My Students

Our school has students from a variety of backgrounds from farming communities to city folk. What makes them special is the heart of our town. This community comes together through difficult times such as when students are involved in paralyzing accidents or when people need help with medical expenses.

This coming together has caused a huge boom in new homes which causes a shock to the school system as they find new teachers and create more classrooms.

The need for more resources is there to keep up with the growing climate.

Our students deserve to have a great classroom with the same resources you find in big districts. We want them to have an amazing start to their education with a classroom that encourages growth, prepares them for their future, and creates a school family feeling. Please consider helping us create that for our students as it will make a big difference in our school.

My Project

When students take part in different teams, they love to practice during recess. We have students who just finished up with their football leagues and are getting started playing basketball. The neat thing about recess is that the kids who have the opportunities to play on different teams are mixed in with kids who are unable to join a team. They teach each other new skills and challenge each other to get better at their sports. By purchasing these sports balls, you will provide materials for 200 kids to utilize.
