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 Project

We are a Title I school, and the vast majority of our students are from low-socioeconomic households and would be unable to participate in cheerleading without financial support. We recently had tryouts where 27 girls made the team! They are excited to begin learning how to cheer, tumble, and stunt. Cheerleading is a sport that builds confidence, strength, and courage!

Learning these foundational skills will give them an opportunity to be a part of a group that focuses on hard work and strength in character, which will follow them to middle school and beyond.

We are teaching the girls the foundational skills of gymnastics. However, we do not currently have any mats. We want them to learn in a safe environment, so fundraising for gymnastic mats is one of our top priorities right now!

Most of our students are unable to participate in sports or activities outside of school, so this team is extra special for our kids! We could not have a cheerleading team without the financial support from our amazing DonorsChoose community! Thank you to everyone who stops by this project and supports our students.
