My Students

My students attend a Title I School in Arizona. It is a public charter school. Our school is located in East Mesa. My students are in 4th grade. This project will benefit all students at the school- Kindergarten- 8th grade! The students at my school work towards showing academic growth, strong character, and leadership skills! They are happy and hardworking! This project will allow for student athletes to have the equipment that they need. Students will be able to use items during recess and after school with the athletics department!

My Project

This purchase will help students enjoy recess. It will help student athletes after school have a nice set of basketball hoops to use. Students will be so excited when they arrive. They will take pride in the equipment that they have available. They will enjoy using this item during sports in PE. They will know that teachers care about the quality of items that they have available to use at school. Students will enjoy playing basketball with their friends with the new hoops. They will be so excited when they arrive!
