  • Empowering Girls Through Financial Literacy: iPad for Future Success

    Funded Sep 20, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous support of our project to promote financial literacy for my basketball team. Your contribution will provide the iPad we need to teach essential financial skills that will empower these young women to make smart decisions now and in their futures. By supporting this project, you are helping to equip my players with the tools they need to succeed beyond the game, from managing college expenses to building financial independence.

    Your generosity means the world to us, and we are incredibly grateful for your belief in our mission to develop strong, confident, and financially savvy young women. Thank you for investing in their future success!”

    I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation to support our snack program for students.

    Your contribution has made a significant difference in the lives of our students. Many of them come to school facing challenges that can make focusing in class difficult, and your support has provided them with the nourishment they need to stay engaged and thrive. By addressing their basic needs, you are helping to create a more supportive and conducive learning environment.

    Your commitment to improving student well-being is deeply appreciated, and your generosity is making a real impact. Thank you for being a vital part of this initiative and for helping us create a positive and supportive atmosphere for our students.”

  • Physical Education NEEDs!

    Funded Jan 26, 2022

    I am excited to share how your generous contribution has transformed our physical education classes and positively impacted my students.

    Since receiving the new equipment, we have been able to dive into a range of sports, with each quarter focusing on a different one. For example, during our recent unit on basketball, the students used high-quality basketballs for the first time. This allowed us to practice fundamental skills like dribbling, shooting, and passing with equipment that closely mirrors what they might use in a real game. The difference was remarkable; students were more engaged and enthusiastic, and their skills improved significantly.

    When the students first saw the new materials, their excitement was palpable. Many had never used proper sports equipment before, and they were thrilled to have the opportunity to do so. The improved hydration options were equally well-received, with students expressing relief and appreciation for being able to stay hydrated throughout class.

    Looking ahead, we are continuing to build on the skills we've learned with the new equipment. Our next project involves a unit on soccer, where we will focus on teamwork, strategy, and technique using the new soccer balls and gear. The enhanced equipment not only supports their physical development but also contributes to their overall enjoyment and enthusiasm for physical education.

    Your support has made a significant difference in their educational experience, providing them with the tools they need to excel and fostering a greater sense of confidence and achievement. Thank you for playing a crucial role in enriching their lives and learning.”

I'm requesting equipment that will allow my students to have a good experience in physical education. Also, due to pandemic water fountains are closed, and some students cannot afford to buy water bottles. This will allow them to stay hydrated during class, and use the proper equipment for sports play. Each quarter we will focus on a different sport, using the proper equipment for each of them. These materials will make a difference because some students have never been able to use the proper balls, this will help me teach them the fundamentals.
