Pool Time

Help me give my students an interactive and fun learning experience in our after school Pool Club.

FULLY FUNDED! Coach Hamilton's classroom raised $907

This project is fully funded

My Project

I work in a low income, high poverty high school. Many students want to stay after school and participate in activities; however, there aren’t enough choices. I want to provide a variety of options to accommodate more students. After thoughtful consideration, I have decided to start a pool club. Pool is a fun and exciting way to practice critical thinking skills and sportsmanship. We are in need of basic supplies to get started, such as a billiard table and a complete set of 16 professional balls. This project will allow kids to get hands-on experience learning and perfecting the game of pool after school.
