My Students

We are from rural Eastern Kentucky with low income and high crime drug rates. Most students in our school live with grandparents, aunts, and uncles or are fosters. We are starting a training league for our basketball program.

Our basketball goals will not lower to the height for our K-2 babies.

We are needing adjustable goals so our students have the opportunity to grow; not only basketball skills, but social and emotional skills.

We thank you for your consideration of our school and our students.

My Project

This basketball goal will be used for Kindergarten through second grade fundamental basketball league. This league will help build our basketball program and social and emotional skills. Students will learn the skills of basketball along with the skills of life.

These goals will be used at every practice and every game so our students will have the appropriate goal height for their age.

The students will be competing competitively against other teams throughout the league. The main focus of this league is to build a program of learning that will continue to grow for years to come.

Many of our students do not come from a background of people showing they care for them. By seeing that someone they do not even know cares enough to help them get their basketball goal. It will open up a new world to them.

We thank you for your time.
