My Students

In efforts to continue to build our baseball and softball program at HMS, we are looking for equipment that our students can use to enhance their athletic abilities.

Our students are a great group of kids, they walk into our school every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day and ready to hit the practice field so they can excel in sports.

Working in inner-city Philadelphia where equipment and resources are limited. Many of our student-athletes don't get to experience the things a lot of other students in more prosperous schools do because they simply don't have access to it. My students-athletes are DESERVING and should be able to experience the same activities that their counterparts in other schools and communities do.

My Project

A lot of our students do not have the necessary resources to be able to provide proper baseball equipment. We will use the practice net during practice in preparation for games. This will also be used by kids in the future who play for the HMS Baseball team.

Our goal is to improve the equipment for our baseball team.

Most days we have to practice in the gym due to the fields being rained out because of the weather. Also, it will allow our players to get to reps during batting practice without having to chase balls all over the field or gym floor.
