My Students
My students are awesome! They attend a Title I school and our funding for physical education is zero. All of the money is put towards reading and math, which is extremely important, but that doesn't help our students have access to equipment during physical education or our ability to replace equipment as it gets old.
Our students need new equipment so that they can continue to learn and play tennis and baseball this spring.
The students are always suggesting games and sports that they would like to play and learn, but we don't always have the equipment to play those games. My kids deserve to have many options available to them. The more options we have, the more likely they will remain active and be willing to try new sports and activities. All kids like to play, just finding the right game that they love is what matters.
My Project
The students at my school have been begging me to play tennis and baseball this year. After a year like last year, I would love to be able to give them what they want. The tennis balls will be used with the rackets that we already have to complete our tennis unit this spring. The baseballs and nets will allow my students to refine their baseball/softball skills and become better athletes.
I want to make this year a little bit better than last year and keep the students happy and healthy while being safe.
Along with teaching the skills of tennis and baseball, this equipment will allow the students the social skills of being with others while playing competitively in a fresh outdoor environment. This will allow them the get away from everything going on in the world even just for a little while and enjoy the games that they want to play.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
