Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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

Please help give my students a football tackling wheel to learn how to tackle safely and properly during practice. We do not have any pads or dummies to hold while the student-athletes are learning how to tackle. The tackling wheel will help the football team and keep players safe while learning how to tackle and they will use those skills during the football game. We do not have a home stadium, so our football budget is very low, and can not afford to purchase new white pants for the football team. We will take pictures of all the students tackling the new tackling wheel at practice.
