  • 1st and 10: We're Just Getting Started

    Funded Apr 23, 2020

    Our football teams were thrilled to have their new equipment. When I announced that the project had been funded the students were ecstatic. They had grown tired of using the old PE equipment and were happy to have some equipment meant just for them. These teams were able to practice more effectively with equipment that more adequately met their needs.

    The teams that benefited from the project showed tremendous progress throughout their football season. Our two teams each reached their respective playoffs with one of our teams winning the championship after an undefeated season. It was an impressive demonstration by our student-athletes and this project played a role in that success.

    My current projects are focused on building a program at our newest campus. Our charter is expanding and opening a new school in August and I am striving to do what I can on DonorsChoose to build up an adequate inventory for the incoming student-athletes that will be participating at that campus. I look forward to the generosity of donors like you helping to build a new school's athletic program.”

    Thank you so much for your generous donation for our students.

I am a Physical Education teacher at a public charter school in Las Vegas, Nevada. My school serves students from preschool to 8th grade. An essential part of our charter is our focus on multiculturalism; a focus that is made manifest in our student body. My students represent a wide array of cultural backgrounds and speak many different languages. My students come from differing social and financial backgrounds as well, which only furthers their ability to learn from one another each day. My students are fun-loving and happy. I am fortunate and privileged to be their teacher. They love P.E. and always come ready to participate - even on Las Vegas' hottest days. At my school, we know that the students matter and we strive each day to give them the best possible chance to learn new things and prepare to be college graduates. I love my students and my school and I thank you for all your selfless support.
