Physcial Education Manipulatives/Project Adventure Unit

Funded Nov 19, 2013

Dear Donors:

Greetings from The South Bronx! It is with a warm heart that I and my physical education students want to thank you for your donation. Your kindness has reached the hearts and minds of my wonderful students. They beamed with happiness and excitement as I opened up your awesome package and showed my classes many new forms of fitness routines.

Our school, like many across the country is lacking in basic materials. I have had to make due with old, outdated materials and try to fix what little I have. My school lacks not only PE materials but also basic school supplies. I heard about DonorsChoose from another staff member at my school and I can honestly say that it was a wonderful experience to know that there are organizations such as yours willing to spend some extra money by investing in our youth.

Every day since I received your donation, I have been able to reach new fitness goals and lessons that I was never able to accomplish in the past. More importantly, my students look forward to using new PE materials every time they walk into my gym. The first word they say is: "What fun stuff are we going to do today!". This wonderful new chapter in my teaching career was accomplished due to your outreach. I want to thank you again from the bottom of my hear! All the best to you in the future.”

With gratitude,

Mr. Leach
