My Students

My student have grown up on a reservation and have not had the resources that they needed to be involved in extra curricular activities. I have some students who wish to be involved in golf in order to become part of a team. However, their families do not have the money in order to assist them.

My students want to become part of a team and in order for that to happen they will need to have the resources that are need for their extra curricular activities.

I work with special education students and they have the desire to be part of a team, but feel that they do not posses the abilities to play other sports. That is why they wish to pursue golf and are in need of the supplies that are needed.

My Project

I am simply requesting two sets of golf balls that my students will be able to use while practicing and participating in golf. I believe that if my students could become more involved in a team activity they would have more drive to work harder in school in order to keep participating and to not let down their team mates.

These golf balls will encourage my students to work harder in school so that they will be able to participate in their extra activities.

By becoming part of a team, they will enrich their lives.
