My students need 8 new footballs to start the revitalization of our school's football team. Sports are essential in fostering teamwork, good health, and building character.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
Do you remember playing in your first school game or cheering on the team? Well now imagine hearing there won't be sports this year because there is no money for sports equipment! My students deserve the chance to make their own sports memories and to participate in a character building program.
My students are predominantly African American and Latino students.
They are enthusiastic, hard workers that love sports. Sadly, they have very few positive role models in their lives and very few positive outlets in their community. Many come from single parent households in which parents are often times working and do not have the time to spend with their children, unfortunately allowing students to find not so positive activities to get involved in. Our school's sports program has been severely & significantly diminished because of recent budget cuts. Its very difficult to obtain the necessary equipment and extras to maintain a well run sports program.
My Project
My students need footballs to help revitalize our team. Our school has suffered greatly from deep budget cuts. Our sports program was the most affected. We are lacking a lot vital sports equipment. We are in desperate need of regulation footballs to practice as well as compete with. Students will have the opportunity to be taught and embrace the art of football.
This project is important because it will help my students raise their self-esteem, build character, and foster teamwork.
Students will participate in a program that will promote physical health and teach valuable life lessons.
