My Students

My school is a special place because it is one of the most diverse schools in the Houston Independent School District. Our school mission revolves around accepting diversity! We have used sports to connect our students and have committed to being a healthy campus. In recent months, we have been challenged as a school and community, due to the budget crisis. Although we have been able to use creativity in our curriculum we are in desperate need for teaching resources.

The low income students we have at our school have many challenges outside of school, that make the chance for equal opportunity even more of a vital necessity.

We are now in a scramble to find equipment that intrigues kids to stay healthy! Accommodating our large number of students has become even more of an untouchable situation because of our lack of resources. Through this tough situation we have stuck together and managed to create a limited learning environment, but need the community's help!

My Project

Throughout the years I've noticed the drastic increase in loss opportunity for low income students to train for their passions. More and more we see the financially stable students getting the quality equipment to train for their passions, while less advantaged students don't get the opportunity! The objective is to change this disadvantage low income students have, and give these students the same opportunity by providing quality training equipment.

Providing equipment that can benefit a student's passion, which escapes them from hardships they face daily will improve the student's overall health.

We want to allow students to focus on important paths that lead to bright futures, but can't if students have added stresses. The strength bands, cones, and speed/agility equipment will give something to address these challenges, leading to huge increases in student involvement daily. The student's chance daily to get to work on the sport, or healthy hobby is the answer to students’ success!
