  • Back Packing Into The New School Year Like A Boss

    Funded Jul 19, 2023

    Thank you again. My students used the backpacks to carry the basic classroom materials they received, sport uniforms, and snacks. Students used the backpacks to carry lightweight books as well.

    My students were genuienly happy and grateful for the backpacks. Their smiles lit up the room as they received their backpacks stuffed with basic school supplies that they were so excited to receive.

    I am certain that my students will continue to do well in all their classes especially when they have the supplies they need and something to carry those supplies in. The memory of receiving the backpacks filled with materials and the feeling that strangers came together to provide them with much needed classroom necessities is an emotion that will last for many years to come. It is my hope and the hope of my students that they can one day pay it forward.”

    With gratitude,

    Coach Johnson

  • Jumpstarting the New School Year With the Basics

    Funded Jul 17, 2023

    Thank you again. My students used the classroom materials to complete basic classroom assignments, take notes and journeling. Students used some of the materials to write thank you notes as well.

    My students were genuienly happy and grateful for the materials. Their smiles lit up the room as they received their classroom materials stuffed in their new backpacks that they were so excited to open.

    I am certain that my students will continue to do well in all their classes especially when they have the supplies they need. Though these basic classroom materials will only last for so long, the memory of receiving the materials and the feeling that strangers came together to provide them with much needed classroom necessities is an emotion that will last for many years to come. It is my hope and the hope of my students that they can one day pay it forward.”

  • Strong Muscles Make for a Strong Mind

    Funded Aug 11, 2023

    I can't thank you enough for your generosity and kindness. Thank you for believing in our students and understanding that our young people need physical activity just as they do core subjects. This equipment will be of great help so again the Falcons thank you for contributing to our success.”

  • Fitness for Falcons

    Funded Nov 22, 2021

    Thank you for all of your donations. When the items arrived, some of the students helped me retrieve them from the office. Not even knowing what was in the boxes, the students were so excited as they learned that the boxes contained fitness equipment for them. Opening the boxes were comparable to Christmas morning. They were eager to open the items and their faces lit up. They immediatley wanted to know when they were going to use the equipment. I was elated just being able to provide them with that moment of pride and joy.

    The students are using the equipment for strength and conditioning. Of course the ball rack was a big plus because the previous one we had was broken and being held together by tape. The hand placement basketball is helping students improve their shooting form. They enjoy each piece of equipment because it provides a variety of new exercises to perform. The smaller students struggle with the heavy ball and ropes. The heavy ball was too much for one of the students and it knocked her over as she caught it.

    The next step is to get more equipment to have a class set. We will slowly introduce students to the many exercises and possibilities. We will also use the equipment to instill pride, create more intense workouts, and hopefully develop stronger, faster, healthier students.”

    With gratitude,
