My Project

We are looking to get equipment that is geared toward high school P.E. These items will get all the students involved and offer new games and new equipment which will hopefully get them excited about participating. We are a very small, rural school in East Tennessee that receives little to no funding for our Physical Education programs. I have looked for grants the past few years to find help to buy equipment, but I have not found any that we could apply for. We have a few basketballs and a couple of volleyballs that have been passed down from the sports team, but only so many kids want to play those two sports on an everyday basis.
