My Project

The track team has been a staple in our school community for the last 4 years. The team has taught PGMS students discipline and teamwork while promoting confidence and a healthy lifestyle. Athletes have a positive outlet for their energy, set SMART goals and persevere towards those goals. Our team welcomes athletes of all abilities and fosters building relationships and personal growth. From the hallways, to the stairs, to around the block, the school gymnasium, and our local elementary school's track, you will find the PGMS track athletes and their coaches working out, running, and having a blast twice a week, rain or shine, all school year long!

Your generous donation toward new equipment will help students build strength, stamina, and speed!

Dumbbells help build strength and power for sprints and long runs. Mats are necessary for a safe and more hygienic surface for core workouts, stretching, and recovery. Resistance bands will help enhance flexibility, mobility, and strength for the key muscle groups necessary to enhance performance and minimize injury.

This equipment will help our athletes train smarter, harder, and perform their best! Thank you!
