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
Our student-athletes are high-achieving in the classroom at our college preparatory charter school, and I want them to have the same success and support on the field.
This project will provide white away football jerseys and pants so that our student-athletes will have a uniform look when taking the field.
Our team is so blessed to have new home uniforms, courtesy of an earlier DonorsChoose project. Today many of our football team’s away uniforms are barely staying intact despite being repaired regularly by a volunteer. And last season some players had to wear football pants of different colors due to our school’s insufficient inventory of usable pants.
Our student-athletes continue to improve and show good sportsmanship. Being able to wear properly fitting, matching uniforms for both home and away games truly would give them an extra sense of professionalism and feeling of school pride. And it would enable our coaches to reinforce just how important each person is to the team.
Thank you for helping us properly outfit our students, as we develop leaders who understand the importance of teamwork, humility, and perseverance through football.
