Hi, Batter Batter!

My Project

Here at my school, I have a high percentage of students who come from low-income families, which puts them at an even greater disadvantage. I am not able to ask. my students and their families to contribute financially, in order for me to be able to provide sporting equipment.

My school softball team provides a fun environment where I teach student-athletes skills they can use on and off the field.

Taking part in a sports team, like softball, will help my students clear their minds. Softball also provides Social and Emotional Learning.
