Mr. Gonzales from Arlington IA is requesting sports & exercise equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

The Road To Success Begins!

Help me give my students the stuff they need. Covid has required us to give each catcher his own equipment, each batter his own helmet, and we go though more balls than ever.

My Students

Most of our students come from a rural farming community and are a good group of hard working students who care about their fellow students and community. In times of need our students come together to support each other. Although we do not reside in an affluent area, and many of our students come from middle to lower income families, we have a high graduation rate with many students going on to academic success in college. The community is proud of our students.

My Project

SHS and the booster club has done a fantastic job of helping out our sports programs, however it’s resources are always limited. And unfortunately the Covid pandemic has strained those resources even more. The road to success both in and out of the classroom is paved with your help. In order to keep our kids safe and to compete at the highest level we have to have the necessary equipment And enough of it to do so. Your support will help these kids be the tip of the sword of success at SHS!
