My Students

Our students are wonderfully gifted, talented, and hard-working. Our student have a sense of school pride and want to try their hardest on every single activity in which they are involved. The activities they participate in, are a wide variety. They are so special to me and our community.

We have a such a sense of school, and community pride.

It's great to see our students thrive in this environment, and we want to continue to give back to them, more and more. We want to show them how much they mean to us.

My Project

Your generous donation will help in the obtaining of very important equipment for our very young people. We are asking for removable hoops that can hang on the wall. There is a bracket that will be mounted to the wall at around the 6 1/2 or 7 foot level for the little kids. When we are not using them they can be removed by sliding the hoop out of the bracket.

We never want any kid to stop trying, so we need to offer alternatives to set them up for success.

These hoops and brackets will offer our little guys and girls the chance to be just like the big kids and actually do the skills and games that they do!
