My Project

Join us in supporting our students’ physical and mental well-being by contributing to the enhancement of our school’s athletic facilities. We aim to raise funds for high-quality pickleball nets to create a fun, engaging, and inclusive activity for all students. Pickleball has grown immensely in popularity and is not only great for fitness but also promotes teamwork, social interaction, and sportsmanship. With this goal for the necessary equipment, each donation, whether large or small, will directly benefit our students by providing them with an opportunity to stay active and have fun. Together we can help our students develop healthy habits, improve their sportsmanship, and enjoy an exciting new activity by giving them the tools to succeed!
