Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Bring our Classroom Fitness center up to code... We use a classroom as our fitness center. The students are getting stronger but as always accidents do happen and weights drop to the ground.

Our classroom floors are just tiles and are getting dented and broken under weights and certain equipment.

We would be appreciative to everyone that donates to our rubber flooring needs.

As of now we resort to a makeshift covering of the floor which of course is of not the right kind of material. I want to provide a safer and cleaner alternative to what we have.

Thank You.

Mr. Rodriguez
Grades 9-12
