My Students

William Butler Yates once said, "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." Each day my students come to school from a variety of difficult home lives to have this educational fire lit inside of them. My students attend a Title I school in South Carolina that enrolls students with a wide range of ability levels, different socioeconomic backgrounds, and many even have difficult home lives.

For the most part, the world of my students is a simple one that lacks resources and opportunities for learning.

Even something as simple as having reliable resources can make a difference in their lives. I believe in providing my students with the highest quality education I can offer them and hope that my efforts will truly benefit these students.

My school is an Arts in Basic Curriculum school, which means we focus on the integration of Music, Visual, and Performing Arts with our everyday lessons. For students who do not come from much, this integration is a way to provide them experiences and opportunities in which many of them may never get otherwise.

My Project

This equipment will keep our students engaged in physical activity during afterschool hours at our Title 1 school. It is imperative that our children stay excited about health and fitness. This equipment will also increase their understanding of sports and games.

Our Title 1 students will use this equipment to promote wellness, sportsmanship, and increase their physical fitness.

Not only will this equipment aid in physical health, but it will also aid in creating mental stability for students grades K4-5th grade. Please help us create a positive, fun, and engaging environment for our Title 1 aftercare students.
