This project is fully funded

My Students

I am a first-grade teacher and the junior high and Varsity Cheer coach at a rural school district in Oklahoma.

I want my students and athletes to thrive and be pushed to do their best while under my supervision.

I hope to give my students and athletes the best all-around educational & athletic adventure possible. It is my goal to help lead my athletes to college scholarships!

My Project

The EZ Mats that are requested through this project will benefit my Junior High, 9th grade and Varsity Cheer teams. We are currently using a partial set of old cheer mats for practice and for preparation for our competitions. We desperately need a full set of competition mats so that we can line up our choreography and be better prepared for competitions. These mats will allow us to be better prepared for our regional and state competitions. The mats will also be used in our everyday cheer practices. Thank you for considering our project!
