My Project

By getting these badminton birdies and pickleballs my students will be able to dive deep into the world of racquet sports to learn new skills. During our racquet sports units, allowing students to have their own equipment can allow more practice time and partner/ group work to further their skills.

Our students have also created a badminton club and hope to start a pickleball club soon, as it is the official state sport of Washington.

Any help towards our goal will make memories for our students that will help them become life-long active individuals!
