My Students

Currently, I work in a fully inclusive school. Primarily, the players I educate are from the middle school grades (6-8); a majority of whom receive specialized instruction through Individual Education Programs (IEPs), while all students receive direct instruction in the inclusion setting. The needs of the students range from having a specific learning disability to intellectual impairments and medical diagnoses include Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, and DiGeorge Syndrome. My players are eager to succeed and learn despite the barriers they encounter and would benefit from receiving this new equipment.

These students already face obstacles due to their need for specialized programs, not having the appropriate equipment makes the task even more difficult.

Due to budget cuts in our school, it is necessary for myself to do projects like this in order to supply the equipment needed for our sports team. My students appreciate all the opportunities they are awarded through the generosity of the many donors who have donated to past projects.

My Project

My students and players have had a great amount of success over the past 7 years. In those 7 years our teams have won a total of 8 Championships as well as a couple of Division Championships and yet we have no where to display these accomplishments. Currently we have a small wall mounted trophy case with some of our trophies sitting on top while a couple others are in the main office of our school. The wall mounted trophy case is way too small in height and depth to put our trophies in. It would be amazing if we could have a trophy case large enough to house all of our trophies in one location so that students, both current and former, as well as visitors could view the success we have had.
