  • New Soccer Club!

    Funded Mar 5, 2025

    My school can not thank you enough for your generosity towards helping our soccer program. I am at a middle school in Connecticut with about 550 students. Most of which love the game of soccer. I was getting asked for a long time to start an after school club from all my students but we lacked the necessary equipment for outdoors. We are in the processes of dividing up about 80 students who would like to stay after school and play in a soccer league.

    I am also trying to coordinate with the 6 other middle schools in my city to start a real after school league where schools go up against each other with playoffs and a championship. The nets they you have donated will serve for practice three days a week for our students. I like them because they are lightweight which helps for transportation outside/inside. The soccer balls that were donated are great soccer balls to practice with and use both indoors and outdoors. The students here were very excited to learn that they had new soccer balls and goals to use instead of cones outside.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. West

  • Working Out to Fight Childhood Obesity

    Funded May 6, 2019

    I would like to thank our donors to help provide free weights for our PE class. This allows are over populated classes be able to use their down time that we would normally have and give students the ability to remain physical active throughout their PE class. As it is now, we started the year doing soccer and when we are inside we can only fit about 32 students on the courts playing indoor soccer, leaving about another 30 students on the side lines waiting. With free weights available students are able to stay active and do exercises in between games.

    Each day we will put a few different exercises up on the board as a routine and they work on completing the workout routine. We show them how to correctly perform the workouts and they are able to grab the various weight amounts that are best for them and preform the workouts. Students were excited to see new equipment and are interested in working out and building muscle to live a healthy and active lifestyle. It is good to be able to use the weights to help build up students cardio vascular and muscular endurance to improve their fitness scores.

    Moving forward we would like to keep improving our weight room so our students have a vast opportunity to get in shape and stay in shape.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. West

    This classroom project was brought to life by Google.org and one other donor.
With the free weights we have requested we would be able to set up daily workout routines for the students to use to get in shape and build muscle. Every year we test the students with the Fitnessgram test which tests, cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance and flexibility. Students should have the proper equipment to workout properly to get in shape. With the free weights, students will be able to learn proper technique to work out which they could uses as they get older. It is important to us as they grow that they are using correct form so they do not get injured.
