My Project
Our school's initiative to acquire baseball mitts for low-income students extends beyond mere equipment provision; it serves as a gateway to teaching the game of baseball to budding student-athletes.
With a diverse student body, including an influx of newcomers eager to learn, these mitts represent more than just leather and stitching – they symbolize opportunity and inclusivity.
By utilizing these mitts as teaching tools, we aim to instill not only the fundamentals of baseball but also essential life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. Through structured coaching sessions and hands-on experience with the mitts, students will develop a deep understanding of the game while fostering a sense of camaraderie and sportsmanship.
By providing access to quality equipment and expert guidance, we empower our students to unlock their athletic potential and cultivate a love for the sport. As we embark on this journey, we recognize that these mitts are not just tools for catching balls but instruments for building character and shaping futures.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
