We work with the best group of special education students! They understand the importance of learning and work hard to engage in the academic tasks in the classroom. This basketball hoop would be used to provide additional motivation to focus to complete the academic learning in class. Once they are finished, students can have some basketball time. We have tried the over the door hoops but they don't withstand the enthusiasm of our boys when complete a dump shot. We have a classroom with space for the hoop and luckily we are on the 1st floor with no one below us. We just need a the equipment.
More than half of students from low‑income households
