My Project

Badminton is among the top of the most popular activities in Middle School PE. Our equipment has been used to exhaustion. This project would fund new racquets and birdies for our PE program.

Have you ever played badminton with Tennis racquets; they are heavy and sometimes the birdies get stuck in the strings, detouring but not stopping our students from playing.

It is time we got new equipment to play badminton. The birdies are in shreds and many of the strings on the actual badminton racquets are broken. Most of the grips on the handles are long gone.

We looked into having them restrung; it is cost prohibitive. So, we are turning to Donors Choose to help with funding to replace the equipment from one of our students most favorite activities, badminton. I am fairly certain the equipment we have has been in use here since the 1990's. No kidding.
