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 Students

My students from Clarksdale, MS are hardworking, energetic and intelligent young men. They are dedicated to success and achievement both academically and in athletics. They put their hearts and bodies on the line to participate on our Track Team with pride and all out effort.

Whether it is running sprints, agility drills, or learning their plays, they push themselves to max, becoming not just better football players but better young men as well.

They love their school and represent their community well!

My Project

These items will improve our students physical and mental strengths. Stronger bodies help them prevent injuries and make them more focused atheletes and students. We don't have the resources to give our student atheletes all the advantages of larger schools. It is with this in mind that I am seeking your aid to give these awesome children every advantage to achieve greatness that I possibly can. These materials will go a long way to improve their performance and chances of getting scholarships to go to college. Thanks to your donations you will have invested in future leaders that will have a better chance! Thank you in advance!
