Schoolyard Soccer Scrimmage

Funded Jan 12, 2022

Thank you so much for your generous contribution to is235q's "Schoolyard Soccer Scrimmage" project. Having two soccer goals and three balls has allowed our seventh and eight graders to develop physically and socially.

Everyday after lunch four teams would form - two for seventh and two for eight. The seventh graders would battle each other as would the eight graders. I had the pleasure of witnessing these scrimmages several times. I wished you could have been there to see their herculean efforts to score goals. They would come back to class out of breath, thirsty and always with a big smile.

The students and staff of is235q cannot thank you enough for providing this soccer equipment. You have helped cement two formerly loose groups into teams and into teammates. I hope you find great satisfaction knowing this donation carried well beyond the match and well beyond the schoolyard.”

With gratitude,

Mr. Dwyer
