My Project

I am writing to you on behalf of our students at Sayre High School, where I serve as a dedicated educator focused on promoting health and physical education.

We are excited to expand our sports programs to include badminton, table tennis, and tennis.

These activities are crucial in helping our students develop new skills, stay active, and learn the importance of teamwork and strategy. Traditionally, our sports programs have centered around football, basketball, and baseball. However, we believe it is essential for our students to explore a variety of sports and discover their unique talents and passions. Physical education plays a vital role in the overall development of our students, promoting physical fitness, mental health, and social skills.

To successfully launch these new programs, we require equipment, including birdies, paddles, badminton rackets, and nets. We are seeking your generous support to help us make this vision a reality. Your contribution will significantly impact our students by providing them with the resources they need to excel in these sports. Furthermore, your support will foster a sense of community and pride among students, parents, and local residents.

Participation in these sports can also open up educational opportunities for our students, many of whom are looking to attend college. By providing our students with the chance to learn and excel in these sports, we are helping them build strong resumes for future academic pursuits. Additionally, developing these sports programs can reduce the chances of violence by giving students structured and supervised activities, contributing to a safer and more positive environment.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Your generosity will have a lasting impact on our students. If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to contact me at 215-768-5061 or mikalagoodman@yahoo.com.

Warm regards,

Mikal Goodman
