My Students

My students are the most awesome bunch of kids I have ever met. I teach 30 fifth graders in an inner city school. Their neighborhood is gang-ridden and has very little access to museums. Our school in an oasis in the middle of a neighborhood that is full of dilapidated one-hundred-year-old buildings that have single one-bedroom apartments that house entire families.

My students are sweet, energetic and eager to learn new things.

They need physical education equipment to use during physical education and recess and lunch recess.

My Project

My students would love this sports equipment to have more of a variety of games to play in order to be in better shape. Our school has a limited amount and variety of sports equipment.

My students would love the catch and balance set, bases to play softball and a set of juggling scarfs to play no violent games in order to be more engaged during physical education time.

They love to play new and fun games that they have never played before. By having all this new equipment, I will be able to get my students much more involved in games and sports. Please donate to our project and watch us soar! Any amount will help us out.
