Special Needs With Special Needs
Funded Nov 9, 2017Words cannot describe how grateful my students and I are for the donations we received to get new physical education equipment. We use the equipment every day and to its full capacity. My students were so happy to have new hockey sticks, pucks, and balls to play hockey with. Hockey, along with basketball, is one of their favorite activities to participate in. They were so excited that we had to extend our hockey unit by 2 weeks! Right now we are working on our baseball unit, after all, it is baseball season! We are building up our hitting skills by working off of a tee and tetherball (ball on a string hanging from an apparatus) and soft tossing. Our next steps are to be able to hit off of a pitcher. Thanks to all of you, our students are learning and having fun while doing so.”

New Basketball Team!
Funded Aug 3, 2017Words cannot describe how grateful my students and I are for your generous donation. With the new equipment you have provided for us, we are able to work on the necessary skills in order to compete within our basketball league. The look on their faces when they saw the brand spanking new basketballs was priceless! The loved playing and practicing with the old ones, but the new ones have brought new enthusiasm to all of the students. With this being our first year joining the basketball league within our school system, and the first time that most of our students have been a part of an organized athletic team, we aim to teach the students the necessary skills to compete and most important, display excellent sportsmanship. Once again, on behalf of my students and staff, I would like to thank you very much for your great donation. Take Care!”
