My Project

Hello! My name is Fatima and I proudly teach at an all-girls public school in Downtown Brooklyn. For the last 3 years, my 6th and 7th graders have loved fidget bands for their chairs and they have helped so many focus better while reading, writing and learning at their tables. However, after 3 years of continuous use, all the bands from all my chairs have worn down and broken. Please help me replace this wonderful material for my students, allowing me to add a band for each chair. You will be greatly positively impacting my students. Furthermore, I would love to introduce and facilitate a Pickleball Club at my school this year. I believe my students will appreciate this popular and more-accessible sport. I will be bringing my own pickleball paddle and balls, but will need more than the 2 I already personally own. Please help me purchase 2 more sets of pickleball paddles and balls to allow more students to play in my Pickleball Club and spread joy in our school! Thank you so much!
