My Project

I am a physical Education teacher. I have been working at this school for over 25 years. I work with a special education population. My students have a wide range of disabilities such as Autism and Emotionally Disturbed. The students at my school look forward to having Physical Education. However, my school does not have the proper facilities or equipment to cater to our special needs population. I am reaching out to ask for any possible donation to help give my students the Physical Education experience that they deserve. My students benefit from sensory learning. All of the sports equipment I have included in my request will truly benefit my students.
