Help me give my students athletic equipment (baseball gear, disc golf supplies, multi-sport nets, and fans) to beat the heat and create the best possible learning environment for our students.

Saint Petersburg, FL Grades 3-5

My Project

The baseball equipment, disc golf supplies, and multi-sport nets will give our students more options to stay active and learn new skills. These resources allow us to teach different sports, keep students engaged, and help them find activities they enjoy. More equipment means more opportunities for every student to participate and succeed.

The fans will help us beat the heat and keep students safe during hot weather.

When it's too hot, students can't focus or perform their best, and we often have to cut class short. With cooling equipment, we can continue teaching in a comfortable environment, giving students the full athletic experience they deserve.

The leaf blower will be used to clear leaves, debris, water, or other hazards from the court/playing area, for student safety. The megaphone will help ensure that all students can clearly hear directions, instructions, and safety reminders during outdoor activities. When students are spread across a field or playing area, being able to hear the teacher will help them stay focused, follow directions, transition safely, and participate confidently in a variety of sports and activities.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
