This teacher needs your help!

Ms. Bratcher from Lumber Bridge, NC is requesting sports & exercise equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Participation Matters!!

Help me give my students equipment to make the physical education class more engaging. With limited equipment, it’s hard to conduct full classroom lessons.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bratcher's classroom raised $984

My Project

Being a health and physical educator is probably the best job in the world. You get to experience the kids being free and enjoy being active. These resources will help them participate more because with more equipment comes more engagement.

With a school that has approximately 500 students and only having equipment that is enough for 20 kids, well, this can be very difficult.

The more equipment we have, the more we can do with our lessons. This project has more balls, a portable net, cones, and hoops. I just want to make sure they are getting the full experience during physical education.
