• Teaching and Improving Baseball Fundamentals

  Funded Apr 8, 2024

  A big thank you to everyone who donated and wanted to donate to the baseball program. With the donation that each individual gave, it has allowed our program to make some big strides and improvements. The equipment has helped develop our arm strength, able to have practice and be protected with screens, and how ball buckets to shag and carry practice balls, as well as game balls. We are also able to have different stations for workouts and training during the off season and in season. Thank you so much for helping to improve baseball program.”

• Much Needed Classroom Printer

  Funded Mar 27, 2024

  Thank you again to everyone who donated and wanted to donated to this project. By getting this printer, we have been able to print various things for our students in the band classes. Especially musical assignments and music for practices. The printer does not use a lot of ink either, so that's a big plus as well. Program is better because of your help. Also many of the students now have a way to print assignments for other classes and projects. More importantly, I don't have to leave my classroom to print or make copies any more. Thank you for your support.”

• Drinking Water!

  Funded Sep 26, 2022

  Big thank you to everyone that donated for this much needed cause. With your help, all my students had access and the ability to have water to drink during and after school. With the way things have been going on with our water system here in Jackson, MS, it has difficult on everyone. Having clean to drink was a much needed accessory. I also had water for my students that were in my other classes. The students do a lot of physical activity and they needed to cool their bodies down and be hydrated. Thank you so much for your help.”

• Classroom Printer

  Funded Dec 20, 2022

  Thank you so much with your help with this project. This project allowed my students to do bigger projects in our music class. It also allowed several students do bigger projects for other classes they take in the school. With having the ability to use bigger paper and the ability to print bigger has enabled the students to not have to go or pay to have their work done else where. It also, keeps them in class. Now they don't have to leave or miss any class notes or lectures. With you support, we have done a lot. Thank you for everything.”

• Building Our Band Program

  Funded Feb 15, 2023

  Thank you to everyone who donated to this project. By getting this printer allowed our band program to have one station to do printing in the classroom. With many changes that has taken place within schools since covid, having printers in a classroom is a much needed accessory now. I teach more than music, and I have many kids that need access to print out various music assigns, as well as class assignments. With your help, we did pretty well this year. I was able to get more accomplished with having this printer. Thank you again.”

• Our Baseball Team

  Funded Sep 5, 2022

  This project has helped our baseball program in numerous of ways. With us not having a practice field, the equipment in this project enabled my baseball players to get more field work and hitting practice in various stations. Instead of players waiting and watching, everyone was involved and active at practice. Our fielding did improve and our hitting has gotten better as well. Without the support of everyone in this project, none of that would have happen. The players, my AD, and myself thank you for your support!”

• Water Dispenser

  Funded Aug 23, 2022

  Having this water dispenser has been a blessings to the student and myself. We are able to drink clean water at all times. Most importantly no instructional time is lost, because students don't have to leave out the classroom now. Students bring their cups and get water when needed. Not only having the water dispenser been beneficial for the classes, but it has also been a big help for after school activities. My band members now have access to cold water during practice. The bonus feature is that the dispenser gives hot water as well. Thats good for when the winter comes.”

• Band Program in Great Need!!!!!

  Funded Apr 8, 2022

  Thank you helping our band program with this much needed equipment. We have not received the items yet but when we do, the drums will have a big impact on our band program. Our program has not had any new equipment since the year 2000.

  These new bass drums will lift the students spirits and make the program look good at the same time. The students no longer have to find parts or make ways for the drum to function to get by for a performance.

  The new drums will be used for performances only to save the life and longevity of them. The old drums will be used for practice. We thank you so much!”

• Baseball Fundamentals

  Funded Mar 23, 2022

  The team, coaches, and myself can not thank you enough for all the donations to get the much needed baseball equipment we needed. This equipment will help develop our players in so many ways.

  Having this baseball equipment also allows us to have different stations. Everyone will be doing something to develop particular skills. There will be no more standing around, waiting, or watching. Lots of work will be put in now.

  When the students saw the equipment, they had the biggest smile. Last year we made the playoffs for the first time in over 20 plus years. They are even more motivated now thanks to you!”
