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
If you took a poll of all student-athletes participating in after-school athletics, you would find that many go hours without eating throughout the school day before competing in after-school athletic activities. Our middle school girls basketball coaching staff wants to combat this stark reality by providing our middle school girls and basketball players with pre and post practice and game snacks and sweets in an effort to cater to their health and well-being as they compete to the best of their ability on the basketball court.
When our student-athletes are not properly fed they are unable to perform to their highest potential on the court, so we must provide a variety of snacks and sweets to ensure the success of each player and our team as a whole.
We appreciate you and your support in providing a variety of snacks and sweets plus water to motivate our student-athletes during basketball practices and games.
