My Project

Good day,

My school is in DIRE NEED for SPORTING EQUIPMENT such as volleyball, soccer balls and jump ropes, for our students.

This equipment will be used to help create a high-functioning Physical Education program. With a limited budget for my classes, I decided to reach out to Donor's Choose in hopes that anyone would donate to help make my program a COMPREHENSIVE, WELL-ROUNDED program so that students can enjoy and make Physical Fitness a life-long goal. The equipment we are using now needs to be replaced as it is old and is not useful to my students. Thank you for any help you can provide.
