Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Extracurricular activities are an integral part of the learning process for many students. Joining a team provides many students with purpose and motivation to excel inside the classroom and in their daily lives. I would like to continue to use team sports to motivate students and teach life lessons. My school is a Title I middle school in an urban school district.
Sports programs and extracurricular activities help my students make safe and productive use of their after-school time and motivates them to succeed inside of the classroom and beyond.
As part of our sports program, I require all of my student-athletes to maintain a 2.5 GPA. To help them reach this goal, I conference with all of my athletes on a weekly basis and get them into tutoring programs if they are struggling in particular subject areas. In addition to helping students succeed in the classroom, team sports also help teach students the value of teamwork, cooperation, and perseverance.
The basketballs will be used to enhance our Varsity and JV basketball teams. The requested materials will allow students to participate in physical activity and promote sportsmanship and good decision making. These materials will be used by over 50 students on our competitive basketball teams (Varsity and JV). Among the materials, I am requesting include basketballs and other equipment to be used in team practices this season.
