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

Our volleyball teams travel to and from games during this time of year. I want to make sure that they are properly clothed as they travel to represent their school. Our school would love for each athlete to have team warm-up jackets that match and represent our united front.

Our kids' health and safety are a priority for us.

Making sure that muscles stay warm is key to endurance in games. Cold muscles lead to body cramps. We need these jackets to make sure our kids are warm, ready to play, and ready to win in volleyball.
