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 are funny and love life. They enjoy working together and sharing ideas. We are a close-knit community. I teach physical education and math for four classes and the state-mandated Respond to Intervention and Instruction class. At times, they need to be motivated and experience opportunities for success. I have one class that is an inclusion class. As a dance team coach and health instructor, I need equipment that will allow them to remain hydrated and organized.

My Project

These materials will make huge difference with my dance team/ Fitness club. We are the Eaglets. The backpacks, water bottles , will be used daily as I will model the importance of hydration and cleaning of hands. Our school is very competitive and we love to play basketball. We have inter-mural games which are enjoyed my the whole community. I want all of the players to have something that is useful to them. We have teams that are created by homeroom and grade level. The winners receive a travel trophy and bragging rights.

Help me give my students a great start for 2021 by giving them a backpack.

water bottle, and alcohol wipes. Due to the pandemic, my players need individual items that can be labeled and easily identified. With your help, all of my students athletes will have a foundation to build on.
