My students need athletic equipment. As in any high school, we are experiencing budget cuts.
The students are all young Native Americans participating in the sport of Track and Field.
At the SFIS, we promote academics as well as athletics, and we are grateful that so many of the students come out to participate in sports.
We teach the young Natives that running is a huge part of our culture. Before we had any other types of transportation, we had to walk or run to our destinations. Doing all that walking and running kept our ancestors fit and free from diabetes.
The materials we are requesting for are going to be used for prevention of injuries. The canopies will keep us out of the elements while the coolers will hold our hydration items. The rollers are used to rub every soreness and injury out. We do need the other items to carry our equipment. Many more items are needed to help all of our students do their best to preform to the best that they can. Each item donated is greatly appreciated.
My Project
The materials and equipment will be used towards training our young lady Braves and Braves in the sport of Track and Field. The canopies will help keep us out of the elements as we are in desert conditions, most of the season. The water bottles will help us stay hydrated.
The students will use the spikes to help make them run faster, and the tape for the Pole Vault will help with the gripping of the Pole, which in turn will help the athletes go higher.
We will use the rollers to help with our health and wellness as we prepare for our events. The kinetic bands will help with our strength training.
