Make Swimming Lessons Possible

Help me give my students items that are needed to learn to swim. Swimsuit and towels are needed to participate.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Norton's classroom raised $228

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our students participate in swim lessons one day per week through our PE program. They LOVE to swim, however, some cannot afford to get a towel and swimsuit to participate.

A well fitting swimsuit can be expensive and may stop some students from swimming due to cost.

It is my wish to provide the what is needed to as many students as possible! Our school as the wonderful ability to provide a Water Safety Instructor. How wonderful would it be if every student would be able to participate in the swim lessons!
