This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
As a P.E. teacher who helps with after-school sports, I am fortunate to interact with nearly every elementary student that attends my school. They enjoy P.E. because, in my class, we strive to get every student involved and try to make something great happen every day. My students accept challenges and always rise to the expectation that is set for them. This attitude is especially impressive when you consider that my students are part of an incredibly diverse school community.
I teach at a Title I School in Nevada in which a high percentage of my students come from bilingual homes and receive free lunch.
My students often face tough obstacles in their lives but arrive at school smiling and ready to learn. They love their teachers and they adore their principal. Our school truly is a community – a family. We each do our part, as students and teachers work side by side with one mission in mind: our students’ success. Each classroom in our school has their college graduation date written on the board. We help the students set their goals high and we strive to help them achieve those goals.
My Project
My student-athletes are in need of volleyballs that will make volleyball practices a possibility. "Practice Makes Perfect" is an important motto of our volleyball team and we want to make our practice as game-like as we can. These new footballs would give our student-athletes the chance to practice with the same size volleyballs that they will play with, rather than having to adjust to a new size of ball each time we play a match.
These volleyballs will improve my student-athletes' ability to play, better prepare them for their games, and lead to better performances in competition.
We strive to give our students the best chance for success. We want them to succeed with their volleyball goals and more adequately preparing them to play is a crucial part of that process. These volleyballs will benefit over 100 students spread across our volleyball program. I am confident that our game performance will improve dramatically if we can practice with the same materials we will play with. This is the project that will make that happen.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
