Mr. O’Neills Class Surprise!

Help me give my students a new speaker for our weight room facility. Being in an inner city, we love to play music from many different cultures. We also want to introduce pickleball to our PE Elective class.

My Project

What I love about my students is that they are so inclusive and inviting for not only teachers but their peers. Working at an inner city magnet school has provided me with a unique experience. I’ve learned what resources we need to help close the achievement gap as well as provide opportunities for my students. My students are always willing to learn and develop their physical fitness as well as improve their social and emotional learning. By being provided these items, we be able to improve all aspects of the student physically, socially and emotionally.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
