My students need backpacks and wrestling headgear for their safety when they compete in wrestling.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. De Nolf's classroom raised $1,809
This project is fully funded
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.
My Students
As a teacher and Coach in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to provide a boost to their self esteem and provide them a way to have team pride. Coaching and teaching in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom.
Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking forward to providing my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.
My students are creative, clever and filled with dreams.
Many of them are being raised in single parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can provide them with a sense of pride.
My Project
These supplies will aid in giving my students a sense of pride, help their self esteem, and help them to understand team unity. It is also essential for safety reasons in the sport and assisting in being able to take care of their uniforms that they will need to take to away meets.
By having team bags it will also help cut down on the cost of replacing lost uniforms and help to make the students learn responsibility.
We have not had a program for the past four years and many of the head gears are over ten years old and need to be replaced.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
