  • Hoops for Shorties! (Removable Goals)

    Funded Aug 24, 2016

    Your donations mean so much to me and the students at our school. We are so very thankful for your generosity. It will go a long way. You can tell by the pictures that our students are enjoying the donations. The new wall hoops really give the students a sense of school pride, and they are very cool. The kids love them. And we hope they remember where they got them.

    We hope this gift of wall hoops to students, will encourage each student in their own way. Whether it is to work harder in the classroom or enjoy school in a more general term. We are sincerely grateful for your concern for our students.

    You have given me, and our school, a renewed sense of excitement for teaching from seeing the reactions to the kids' faces. That excitement will be a great memory when they are older, and hopefully put a great emphasis on education. Your gift may affect students in the future that may go unnoticed, but we want to thank you very much. Thank you.”

  • Basketball for Shorties! (Young Students)

    Funded Dec 6, 2013

    We, as a school and my department, are so thankful for your generosity to our school and our students. We are in such need for this equipment and the students are really going to enjoy themselves when they get installed.

    We have so many students that are interested in sports, athletics, and games. This generous gift from you will add so much of a positive impact on our students.

    We have had so many students ask about basketball and when we are going to play. I have put off our basketball unit to later in the year, because I had to figure out how to play basketball without hoops. Now, I will not have to do that.

    The students will love to be able to shoot and actually see the ball go through the hoop. That is such and encouraging thing for the kids to experience.

    Thank you so much.”

    Mr. Shelsta

  • Fore! (Golf Equipment)

    Funded Oct 26, 2013

    Words cannot explain how much we are thankful and grateful for your generosity to our school and students. Your gift in paying for our new equipment will be a great avenue for students to get excited about new sports, athletics, and being active.

    Our students are very excited to hear that they will be receiving brand new golf equipment. They cannot wait to try our new equipment and have fun and excitement in a whole new way.

    Golf is such a different and exciting new way to look at sports and skillwork. It takes muscle control, patience, and practice to become really good at this game. Our students will learn golf skills, game techniques, and etiquette.

    This project will boost morale for the students who do not possess great skills with the big sports, and who are not good with their feet. This will be a game using more hand-eye-club coordination. And it's super fun!

    Thanks again for your generosity. It is greatly appreciated.”

Our students are good children who are in need of certain specific necessities in order to develop well-rounded people. We cannot get every new piece of equipment that we desire from the district, so we need your help and assistance. Please support these children to help give them every advantage to succeed. Thank you!
