About My Students

Delanie, Hannah and Monica are all looking forward to playing softball for the school softball team this year.

The teams softball equipment we have is very dated and our girls softball team deserves to look like champions! The team has wanted new helmets but it hasn't been in the budget for years! These helmets would benefit all of our middle school softball players. Help them look the part of being champions!

My students learn from one another and the real life experiences they have both on and off the field. They also learn about the importance of time management as they learn to juggle their academic workload with the rigorous practice and game schedule.

In Their Own Words

We would like six new batting helmets for our school softball team. All of our softball helmets need to be replaced. Currently, the pads are falling out of our helmets after years of use. Also, we need an equipment bag on wheels to help us transport our equipment.

Our new softball helmets will not only provide safety but help us look like real softball players! This project will help us update our equipment that desperately needs to be replaced when there are no funds to do so. The new wheeled bag will help us easily transport our equipment to all of our games and practices.

Our school softball team takes pride in representing our school as we compete against other local school teams! We look forward to having spectators and fans come out and watch us play! These new helmets are not only greatly needed but would help us look like we are ready to compete! These six new softball helmets will replace our old equipment.
