Help me give my students enough resources to play the game of lacrosse.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Arnold's classroom raised $275
This project is fully funded
My Students
I teach in a township school of Indianapolis, IN. Some of my students are living in poverty and rely on the school to take their mind off of the home situations that are out of their control. Our school has minimal funding for the classroom to help with student success, so it is up to me as the teacher to make sure students are getting the learning they deserve. I love DonorsChoose.org as it gives me the opportunity to heighten their learning and give them opportunities they normally wouldn't have.
My Project
I currently teach an elective all about different sports they could play in a team atmosphere. I would love to integrate lacrosse into my curriculum but unfortunately I do not have enough sticks for everyone to play. At the school I teach at Lacrosse is heard of but not usually played as it is not a school sport. Having more lacrosse sticks would help integrate a new team sport into the curriculum that not many have ever played before and giving a new experience and a new team sport they can enjoy.
More than half of students from low‑income households
