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 Students

My students are a group of self-motivated and conscious young men who believe in serving their communities as well as achieving their academic goals. These young men have all put academics and serving others first. We as a coaching staff are instructing them on how to be servant leaders in their communities. "Doing Things Uncommonly Well."

"Impacting Lives of Conscious Young Men." This project will serve as a tool to help these student-athletes achieve their athletic goals.

Go Bulldog Nation!

My Project

The football helmets will provide safety and protection for our student-athletes on the football field in games and practices. Covid 19 has restricted our school's fundraising efforts and budgets. The student athletes and school had several plans in place to fund-raise to purchase new helmets but due to school closure, all of the fundraising opportunities were cancelled. Our entire 2020 football season was also cancelled, taking away revenue from game day ticket sales, concessions, and booster club support. Please help our young men in their efforts to get back on the field safety.
