Mr. Appleby from Sacramento CA is requesting sports & exercise equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Supplying Soccer Skills to Low Income Students!

Help me give my students the tools they need to compete with other, more well funded, schools around them. Give them the opportunity to exercise and experience the joy of the sport!

My Project

My students are persistent. Almost all of them come from low income situations and many are from broken homes. Yet, each day they walk into my room, they give me their best. They have dealt with more hardship in their 12 or 13 years of life than many of us experience in a lifetime. But each day, they smile, make me laugh, work hard, and care for each other.

I want to provide them the opportunity to experience quality coaching and quality training.

So many of them never get to see what is possible and what the future can hold. I want to give them a glimpse of that through sport. This will hopefully provide them with motivation and opportunity to grow and challenge themselves in new ways.

Mr. Appleby
Grades 6-8
