My Students

The athletic programs at my middle school are growing. More students are showing an interest in school team sports every season. We do not like saying "no" to kids at this age. One of our challenges is getting enough equipment to keep all our sports teams running smoothly.

I work at the best school.

Our students have school pride that is contagious. We are a family like no other. Our team sports family will grow if we can focus on the game itself more than on the money needed to keep the football, soccer, track, wrestling, and volleyball program thriving. We want to build programs that everyone in our school district will know about.

My Project

The ball air pump will be used to keep all our athletic balls at the correct sizes. There are hidden talents and athletic gifts that we are exposing through the school's sports programs. Our players will learn that teamwork and hard work will lead them to athletic success.

Our students would love to know that they too can be a part of something, make new friends, learn something different, and have fun while learning.

Learning team sports is another pathway to success on and off the court and field.
