Help me give my students fishing poles so they can learn to fish.

My Project
Living on Coney Island, our little school is surrounded by ocean. There is plenty of public access to great fishing areas, and I myself fish most days. There is even a bait and tackle store across the street. My students have often asked to join me, so this year, I decided to start a fishing program.
My school services low-income minority scholars.
Finances and access to places to buy affordable equipment are limited. Still, there is a wonderful community of local anglers and teaching the scholars how to fish and participate in this wonderful sport would make a huge difference both in the classroom and to their involvement in the community and stewardship for local beach ecosystems.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
