My students need sports equipment for after school activities and some shelter from the elements when outside.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Fife's classroom raised $483

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 Students
I teach kindergarten to some of the hardest working 5- and 6-year-olds around! They love to learn and get their hands dirty. My students live in an extremely low-income area which often limits their exposure to life experiences. Because of this, I try to bring as many real-life discoveries into our classroom that I can. My students take on every challenge head-on and would love to have a science-based classroom!
My students work really hard to achieve our classroom goals, I want to make sure they have everything they need to be successful.
That includes having materials to help get kids extra energy out after the long school day, so that they can learn in the classroom!
My Project
My school is unique in so many ways, one of the ways is, having students Pre-K to 8th grade all share one building! The students, despite the age gap, work together well. They also work very hard to keep learning and growing daily. Our school has won many awards for academics even though we are a low-income, migrant, ELL majority school! I want to thank my students, and also help them to continue growing by giving them sports teams supplied with the proper equipment in which all students will love and benefit!
My hope is that by providing kids with proper equipment, more students will play sports and get the mental break from school that they deserve.
This means students will be able to focus more when coming back into class. I would like to request footballs, basketballs, a volleyball net and balls and two different types of shades. Receiving this donation would make every student's year! We currently have a blacktop basketball court and an open field to play our games in. None of which has any overhang to protect kids from rain, or intense sunshine. By providing our teams with these materials, you would help me to ensure that more students find a sport that they love without worrying about enduring the elements. As all of our activities take place after school, students have no access to the building. Thank you for your consideration on this project that would impact so many kids!
More than half of students from low‑income households
