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

Our students are all boys in a low-income environment ranging from Pre-K through Fifth grade. These boys are extremely active and open to all different sports and outside activities but don't have the resources to clubs or outside organizations to join.

With 99% of enrollment living at or below the poverty line, our boys appreciate any and every opportunity given that comes their way.

Students at our school are super talented and very athletic and use sports as an outlet to escape many struggles in their lives.

My Project

These materials will give us the opportunity to teach life expectations, prepare our students for the years to come, and provide them with a real life experience while using all proper safety equipment.

We would like to prepare our students for the years to come by creating and abiding by our eligibility standard for our youth football program.

This means all grades and behaviors will be monitored and transitioned into extracurricular sports activities.

Through the process of teaching and playing sports there must be safety equipment. With these materials thankfully provided will give us the opportunity to jump right in without any setbacks.
