  • Human Performance, Science, Physiology and Technology Connection

    Funded Oct 16, 2006

    WOW! What a wonderful surprise to find out that my human performance lab has been funded!

    This gift comes at a wonderful time. In my graduate studies I am working on building a website for physical education professionals that is centered on practical applications of technology in our field. Many of the projects we do in our human performance lab can be included in its content for others to use.

    I am deeply appreciative for your generosity in funding my project. With your help, I can continue to be creative in my teaching practice and help students develop an understanding of the use of technology, science, math and literacy in physical education.

    Sincerely,

    Ann ”

  • Turn March Sadness into March Madness, Part 2

    Funded Jul 2, 2006

    Wow! What a pleasant surprise! I can’t thank you enough for your kind gift, the second basketball goal system. Now we have a complete set and the kids will be thrilled!

    Your gift will make such a difference in the appearance of our playground. The basketball court will be more inviting to players as we retire the sad, old system and replace it with new the sturdy set.

    I will pass this good news on to the kids in August and with luck, our maintenance department will have the new goal set in place before the students arrive. Thank you again for your kindness and wonderful gift. Please know that through your giving you make a positive difference in the lives of children by encouraging them to play, share, respect and trust. These qualities are traits we try to instill in our future leaders. I look forward to sending you pictures of children playing on our basketball court using the new goals.

  • Help Turn March Sadness into March Madness! Part 1

    Funded Dec 31, 2005

    Wow! How do I begin to thank you for your kindness? What a wonderful way to start off the New Year! Thank you! Thank you!

    Your generosity will put smiles on the faces of many children for years to come. Our basketball court will once again host many pick-up games and tournaments. I will happily provide you with pictures of play as soon as we get the goals installed.

    I am keeping a gratitude journal this year (2006) and my entry for January 2, will highlight this wonderful news.

    Thank you for your support. You will hear from me again soon.
