My Project

Our near 1,000 students LOVE shooting hoops on our outdoor pavilion! Without a gymnasium, it's an obvious choice for our Dragons. Our PE Department will be teaming up with our STEM Department in creating a fun-filled March Maddness next month. With only a handful of basketballs, it makes it challenging for us to give the students the basketball curriculum that they deserve.

Please consider contributing to our beloved school.

As a first-year PE Coach, my goal is to bring in as much engaging equipment as we can! Every kid loves coming to PE as they learn new skills, learn about teamwork, and build their confidence - all while having a fun time! I feel very fortunate to lead these great kids to a healthy, productive future.

Thank you for supporting our school!
