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
Imagine practicing for months for your very first soccer match and then realizing that you don't have uniforms to wear. All that hard work and you have to show up at the field in nothing but practice clothes.
My students are hard working ladies in metro Atlanta.
At our high school we stay longer hours than others to work to meet our goals. This includes sports. After 1 hour of extra tutorial, my students show up to practice soccer. Being a new high school this will be our very first year with a soccer team and so not only are these ladies hardworking, they are trailblazers founding our first soccer team.
My Project
We simply need soccer jerseys in order to be a real soccer team. We are requesting 17 green soccer jerseys and so that our team can show school pride and participate in soccer matches around the city of Atlanta. In order to practice teamwork these jerseys will allow the team to match and sport their school pride.
Sometimes sports are the motivation to keep struggling students in school.
Having something to look forward to every day and an outlet for their skills is priceless. I remember how much being involved in sports has shaped me into adulthood and I look forward to teaching those skills to our first ladies soccer team.
