My Students

Remember when you did something fun in class, but only one time? And you never did it again? That was a fun class, but it would be more enjoyable if you could repeat fun things. We can't do scooters a lot, because we do not have a large amount and they are old and need to be replaced. We need help!

Our students are fun-loving kids that are in a small-town environment.

They are well-behaved, appreciative, and looking to enjoy themselves while they are learning. Our school is an older facility that has charm, but functions just fine. Out teachers really work hard to help every single student learn in their own individual way. Our students are looking to become better in just about every single area of their life, and we have the community to help back that up.

My Project

The scooters will be used for Physical Education class for the younger students in our elementary school. We work on movement, and how to move from one spot to another in different ways. The scooters act as a super-fun way to stay active and learn at the same time. Kids love to see variety. It stimulates their mind, and they get to see their world from multiple views. I want to be the teacher that gives them the opportunity to learn in multiple ways, and truly enjoy their time in school.

Your donation will make a difference in the lives of the students, and our community.

With the students loving school, and what they're doing inside of it, the community will see the growth of the students and their attitudes. This will affect teachers, parents, and community builders towards their perception of students and our school.
