Mrs. Berndt from Culver IN is requesting sports & exercise equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Train Like a BEAST!

My Students

Being from the "Hoosier" state, sports are part of our students' daily lives.

Our corporation is very small but our children have BIG hearts.

We service about 330 students in our elementary and about 250-300 in our Middle/High School. The students come from 4 different counties surrounding the school.

We have very low-income families that we serve. However, our students are very hard working and committed to their academics, athletics, and families! These kids deserve every opportunity they can get!

My Project

The Skill Attack Machine is an all in 1 piece of equipment. We can utilize this machine in so many different ways.

For example, the machine can serve to our girls in a consistent fashion.

It has the capability to even serve floaters and top spin balls.

Our hitters can also hit a ball that is being "launched" from the machine, giving the coaches the opportunities to focus on our hitters and not tossing the ball.

The Skill Attack will also help with our passing/digging as it will act as an attacker. Again, our coaches will be able to focus on passing and digging form rather than hitting to the kids.

This "Machine" has so much to offer us!

Thank you

Mrs. Berndt
Grades 9-12
