My Students

I am currently working with a Title I Baltimore City Public School. When I arrived at the school we had very limited amount of equipment for class. I see my students year round and they are in need of some new sports to try!

The students I teach attend in Baltimore, Maryland.

I am currently teaching 7th and 8th grade. The students are active in trying to make our community a better place to live by promoting a green lifestyle. The students currently do not have many elective classes and the ones they do have are very limited due to a lack of supplies. Any help, no matter how small or large to this project would be greatly appreciated.

My Project

My students need a pickle ball set and four extra paddles to improve their hand eye coordination. Playing pickle ball will help to expose my students to new sports. It is a great sport to help improve hand and eye coordination. These students are underexposed to sports and activities. We do not have tennis courts available to expose these students to racquet sports. Pickle ball is a fun and vigorous activity that would simulate many of the same skills and moves that tennis requires.

Your donations will help improve my classroom and the students' lives because it will open them up to more experiences that they have not been exposed to.

Many of the students in Baltimore are underexposed to what is out there beyond the city. This will be a great opportunity to expose them to more opportunities.
