My Students
Most of our students are first generation immigrants from countries all over the world. They face many challenges on a daily basis such as conquering their language barrier, adjusting to life in a new country and all that comes with being a middle school student.
As a Title I school which is considered high poverty, many of my students do not have the opportunity of participating in any extracurricular activities outside of school.
For many of my students, participating in our morning soccer club is the highlight of their day. Not only do they get the opportunity to experience a sport on a competitive level, it gives them a chance to socialize with their peers in a stress free environment.
My Project
My students are constantly looking for any opportunity to participate in athletics at school because they do not get the chance anywhere else. They are very interested in the sport of soccer. I have started a morning soccer club where they have the opportunity to learn new skills, play at a competitive level, and socialize with their peers.
Many students eagerly have asked "Why can't we have real soccer nets for our soccer club?".
The soccer nets requested include two ten by five steel framed nets for competitive game play and four portable pop up soccer nets to practice skills and drills. Adding these nets to our soccer club will help my students bring their talent to the next level. Providing my students with new equipment will also create excitement for our club and promote their school pride.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
