My Project

Hello, fellow teachers of life,

I am asking for your support in giving my student athletes the materials they need to have a safe and successful basketball season.

As you may already know, basketball can put a lot of stress on an athletes body. I would like to be prepared for if/when this may occur. That is why I'm asking your help with fhe following; hot and cold packs, athletic tape, basketballs and a ball bag to go along with it. These items are a vital part to the success of our program.

Mr. JB Roosevelt Middle School Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
