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 high school is located in southwest Philadelphia. Our school is 7-12, with about 650 students currently enrolled. Our student body is made up of over 95% African Americans with more than 70% of these students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

The students/student-athletes who I serve are some of the hardest working young men and women I’ve encountered.

They take care of siblings, parents, and grandparents, and a few even have jobs. I would like to provide as much as I can to help these young men and young women be productive members of society.

My Project

We are in our first year of having varsity sports. There has been tremendous interest in track and field. Unfortunately, we do not have the supplies or equipment to help athletes who wanted to do field events. With the indoor season, I wanted my jumpers to have access to a runway to practice their approach. With the long jump mat, they would be able to practice every day. Also, with the indoor shot put, we would be able to actually throw before the meet, which would give each athlete an advantage over their competition. Please help support our program.
