Tchoukball and More for All!

My students need several pieces of equipment for next year. The Tchoukball is a new product on the market. I have witnessed and participated in the game. It is exciting, fast, and suitable for K-8 students.

My Students

The students at my school have worked hard academically over the past year to become a highly rated school (1+) on the south side of Chicago. It is located in a truly socioeconomically challenging environment.

The school is a high needs elementary school.

The students there receive breakfast and lunch, and at times, afternoon snacks prior to any activity they may participate in. This includes both academic after school matter programs and interscholastic programs, such as volleyball, basketball or softball.

My Project

The quantity and variety of materials is in preparation for 2017 season. The materials will be used by ALL 360 students in grade K thru 8. Some of the goods will be used by the after school and intramural programs at the school. For example, the Nok-hockey tables will be available to use when there is inclement weather or as a side activity while students are waiting to participate in a gym activity.

The bottom-line is that students will be kept off the crime infested streets.

The children will be safe and engaged in both physical activity and brain challenging activities.
