  • Basketballs for All!

    Funded Feb 22, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generosity. We now have enough basketballs for every class to be able to use their own. This also helps with recess allowing more students to have the chance to participate in basketball games and drills. The students love the basketballs and say they make them better players. The student's faces light up each time they get to use the brand new equipment are are able to use basketballs that are able to completely air up.

    Thank you so much again to the donors. Thanks to your generosity we now have a lot of students who are very happy!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Cornelius

  • Scoring On and Off the Field

    Funded Dec 10, 2022

    Thank you so much for your generosity. Your gifts have already been a huge hit at recess and PE. The students are very excited about the football, especially because they are great quality and keep air well. The students on multiple occasions have told me how much they love using the Wilson footballs.

    The look on many of the student's faces were of pure joy. Students are so grateful that for the rest of the school year there will finally be enough footballs for every group to play with. This helps our students learn the importance of teamwork and sharing as well as football skills such as catching and throwing.

    Once more I would like to thank you for your donations. Soon we will be starting flag football in PE as well as an after school program. These footballs will be very useful for those classes as well.”

    With gratitude,

  • Slam Dunk School Year

    Funded Sep 4, 2022

    Thank you so much for your selflessness giving to my project. My students are so happy to finally have equipment to use outdoors during recess while the weather is still nice! The students have been playing a lot of basketball and are really thankful each time they are outside and have equipment. The basketballs have also been super useful in P.E. because I finally have basketballs than can be shared and even enough so everyone can have a basketball during my class which has not always been the case.

    The students were shocked when they first saw the basketball because they recognized the brand from the NBA. They also realized the basketballs were nice and kept air and did not get flat. They are so happy to not use the kickballs for basketball at lunch.

    Finally with this donation we are hoping the basketballs will become even more useful during the Winter when we start out 5th - 8th basketball teams back up. The students will have more access to basketballs that will allow them to work and become better players. Again thank you so much for your donation!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Cornelius
