    Funded May 17, 2024

  • Touchscreen to Keep PE Moving!

    Funded Oct 5, 2023

    Thank you for supporting my ""Touchscreen to Keep PE Moving!"" request. The children are going to learn so much more about their bodies and how to stay healthy using this mobile device.

    I cannot wait to start presenting class by class on this laptop, and now I can store my students' info electronically, also on this awesome device! Keeping track of BMI and growth charts can now be done with a click of a mouse, thanks to you. Our P.E. department has finally caught up with the rest of the school in terms of technology and STEAM requirements. We are forever grateful.”

  • Soccer Nets for Our New Team!

    Funded Jan 14, 2023

    I am still so excited that my classroom was chosen and donations were made to fully fund my "I am still so excited that my classroom was chosen and donations were made to fully fund my "Soccer Nets for Our New Team!" project request! We have never had soccer nets and some students did not even know what they were for when they first laid eyes on them.

    Some new foreign students already knew how to play soccer, and being a part of our new soccer team really gave them a taste of their homeland. Soccer has peaked the interest of students who have never played or showed interest in this sport-now almost every student wants to try out or take a shot at making a goal! Thank you for making a difference.”

  • New Nets! New Nets!

    Funded Feb 22, 2023

    I am still so excited that my classroom was chosen and donations were made to fully fund my "New Nets! New Nets!" project request!

  • Printing For Fitness, Wellness and Mental Health!

    Funded Jun 3, 2022

    I want to thank you for donating to my "Printing For Fitness, Wellness and Mental Health!" Donors Choose project.

    The printer was badly needed as the first preference for print jobs always goes to the core subject areas, not special areas. I have been just esctatic having the ease of printing what I need for my PE students at lib and now my students come to my class with folders as they are given printouts and health worksheets that teach them what they need to know about their fitness, wellness, and mental health. Thank you for making a difference!”

  • Pumping Up Our Tiger Teams With Balls, Repairs & Distancing!

    Funded Jan 1, 2022

    Thank you ever so much for fully funding my "Pumping Up Our Tiger Teams With Balls, Repairs & Distancing!" project request! Ever since I repaired all the damaged balls that were repairable, almost every student has their own ball to play and practice with. They sanitize after handling and the next class is ready to play with smooth transactions and transition. We are getting pumped and ready for the end of the school year sports and field activities and the children are super excited! Thank you for making a difference in their lives and helping me keep them safe while they play sports and have clean fun-literally!”

    Thank you so much for funding my "Pumping Up the PE Court With Our PA System!" project request. Because of the relaxation of COVID 19 restrictions in our state, we have had a lot of outdoor games and fun activities, and starting next month, our students are going to get a pleasant surprise when they hear about the field day coming up in May, filled with music, games, physical challenges and surprises! Thank you so much for bringing back sound to the PE court and for supporting this project and our school. We are so eternally grateful.”

Our school is small, yet large in talent and potential. We have aspiring athletes, some who have represented teams nationally in football and basketball. Our children are very active and motivated to learn. Some our our students come from home environments where the only positive outlet they have is at school or playing a sport. Fortunately, the district has started renovating our school premises and this plan included our PE department. We will be getting a new playground as well as a much needed PE classroom.
