My Project

My students are hard-working 6th, 7th, and 8th graders who are grateful for the simple things in life. They are determined to have a winning 2023 football season. The determination and goal-setting skills that football is requiring of them is actually transferred into the classroom and ultimately these skills will be used as life skill. They are learning that is just as much of a blessing to give as to receive.

These footballs will serve as a small tool to help them play the game they love so dearly.

The game itself has appeared to help the students focus on school a little more than usual. They have been working hard the past quarter to ensure their grades are high enough to participate in football.
