Our mission at our school is to give our girls access to all sports, promote overall wellness, and foster a sense of community through Physical Education. Sports help improve students' values, such as discipline, responsibility, and accountability. All skills that will also help them in the classroom!
Data shows that girls who participate in sports have higher self-esteem and confidence than girls who don't.
Yet, there are 4 million less girls participating in sports compared to boys in the USA. -Womens Sports Foundation
As the Physical Education teacher at the first all-girl public school on Staten Island, I would love for our girls to have equitable access to all sports. Our school is a Title 1 school, and unfortunately, it also comes with a very small budget for our physical education program. This Flag Rugby equipment would give our girls an amazing Flag Rugby unit and possibly instill a new love for lifelong fitness!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
