  • Give Students The Opportunity For Success In Physical Education

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    Thanks to your generosity and kindness, every one of my students from first to eighth grade will enjoy the fun and friendly competition of volleyball! Your donation will also ensure that all students will receive differentiated instruction in accord with their skills.

    Our students in grades six through eight have already begun using both the beach balls and trainer volleyballs to enhance their skills. The beach balls not only help my beginning students to learn volleyball fundamentals, but they're also great fun for everyone else! Even my most advanced students enjoy playing with them.

    The younger grades will also benefit from the equipment that you purchased for us. The softer trainer volleyballs will help to encourage students who might not otherwise be inclined to play. These special balls are much easier for students in lower grades to develop their skill sets. The trainer balls are lighted and softer than the standard kind, making them more suitable for smaller children.

    Again, I cannot thank you enough for your help and goodwill. My students and I appreciate everything that you have done for us.”

    With gratitude,

    Coach Nicole

  • Scooter Frenzy Physical Education

    Funded May 29, 2020

    Your gift of scooters delighted all of my students, from our youngest pre-K children to our 8th grade graduating class, and created a joyous physical education experience for all of them.

    It's actually difficult to determine which class enjoyed them the most! From the moment that I first introduced the colorful, shiny new scooters to each and every group of students, all of them reacted with unabashed excitement. The youngest children found themselves engaged in active play the moment they received their scooters, while our eldest children appreciated the opportunity to once more become lost in play and to recapture a moment of their early childhoods.

    Your generosity and kindness has brought us pure happiness during difficult times. All of us are grateful for the gift of play that you have given to us all.”

    With gratitude,

    Coach Nicole

  • Fitness For Life: Let's Stay Active

    Funded Mar 6, 2020

    The multi-purpose balls that you've generously brought to our students allowed then to engage in a multitude of games including relay races, hockey, and a series of warm-ups and cooperative games that sharpened their coordination, improved their fitness and taught them teamwork and sportsmanship. Your amazing gift made this all possible.

    If only you could have seen the joy that you brought to all of our students' faces! Their smiles were as bright as the multicolored balls that you purchased for them, and they were fully-engaged with each game that you enabled them to play in our gym class! They buzzed about excitedly in a state of sheer, unadulterated joy.

    The balls are versatile enough to be used for virtually any warm-up and game, and the children and I await the happy day when we can use them again together, post COVD-19. Thank you again for your incredible kindness and help!”

    With gratitude,

    Coach Nicole

  • Keep Moving: Fitness Fun

    Funded Mar 10, 2020

    It's hard to put into words how grateful I am for your donation to my project. I am committed to providing students with a relevant curriculum that develops lifelong skills, character education, and physical fitness. Because of you, my students will have the opportunity to learn a sport which many know very little about. They will be informed consumers when watching and participating. I can't wait to get started.”

    With gratitude,

    Coach Nicole

Our school is pre-8; over 300 students will benefit from having more materials. In order to have a high-quality program where students learn, you need equipment. More equipment, more times spend developing skills and less time waiting. At our school, we currently have a minimal amount of materials available. Balls are versatile and can be used in a variety of units including volleyball, basketball, and soccer as well as other cooperative games. Students of all ages will learn the appropriate techniques for catching, throwing, volleying, and kicking, and thus aligning our program with the NYS Standards. These skills will help prepare students for lifelong fitness.
