My Project

I am a new physical education teacher at a school that does not have a lot of equipment. The equipment that we do have is rough and these students deserve to have the chance to play sports with equipment they don't have to worry about holding together.

In our school, we have equipment that is falling apart, explodes upon impact due to loose seams, and has to be taped together.

This new equipment will be able to provide a safe environment that the students can have fun in without worry.

I work at a school that has A LOT of students that come from families that can not support equipment and opportunities for lessons and so I try my best to give them that experience at school and they are super grateful of all new opportunities that I have brought to them.

Please help this project provide supports to those in need!
