Help me give my students new basketballs for this upcoming season! These 6 basketballs and traction board will be provided for our JV and Varsity basketball team for practices and games!
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Molfetta's classroom raised $840
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Our students are super passionate about basketball!! Having new basketballs for the season will help make this season enjoyable for all the players and encourage them to be in the gym and practicing more frequently. My hope with these new basketballs is that our players feel supported and their confidence continues to grow as they develop into great athletes. Our community has a long standing tradition with basketball and it's something our students and families care about very much. Having quality equipment will ensure our students have the best chance of success and making memories that they will hold forever!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
