My Project

My students with special needs deserve the extra love and support needed to help them learn and grow. In this special needs environment, we need a way to help them express and control their social-emotional behaviors. PE class gives them an opportunity to be active in a fun environment and work off stress. After-school sports programs provide students in different programs the opportunity to connect and interact as a team and with other students in their school.

Sports teams and participating in Physical Education help them build the social-emotional life skills needed daily.

This is where you come in. We need your help to buy new equipment for our sports teams/PE classes. We need volleyball equipment, basketballs, and soccer goals.
