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
Athletes at my school can be described as dedicated, confident, and motivated. Our soccer team is experiencing many changes to our season this year, and we are trying to help them be as prepared as possible by providing them with outerwear for practices and games.
My Project
I have the distinct pleasure of working at a high school in my district and coaching the men's soccer team. The guys on the soccer team at my school are wonderful student-athletes who have taken a toll this year with COVID-19. Their season has been pushed back from August to January and cut over half of the normal games we play. They are ready to finally take on this season, though it will look very different. At my school, we are 100% free or reduced-price lunch and many of our students and athletes are from low-income homes. The coaching staff would like to get our players jackets so they can wear them during practices and games.
