Title I Juggling Outreach

Help me give my students the gift of juggling, which teaches them control, coordination, and patience.

FULLY FUNDED! Coach Ashcraft's classroom raised $458

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students have expanded their abilities beyond what I imagined they were capable of, and I believe that the next step is a sport which emphasizes rhythm, control, patience, perseverance, and creativity.

Juggling will enlighten my students by providing them an avenue of self exploration and control, which I believe will lead them to living more fulfilled lives just by learning simple juggling tricks.

This is because juggling teaches you to be resilient to your own failures and setbacks, allowing you to overcome challenges easier, simply because you're used to not succeeding. I'd rather have my students learn to overcome defeat by juggling than through hardships, so that when hardships happen they already have resiliency built up.
