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

Football season is right around the corner and I am trying to get a jump start on gathering some of the important necessary items needed for my student athletes to participate this season. My school does not have the budget to obtain the gear for the student athletes. Many of my players come from low income families and have little to no extra funds available to purchase the items on their own, leaving it solely on the coaches and we try our best to make it happen but there is only so much we can do alone. I know our student athletes would benefit greatly and be very appreciative from your donations to be able to receive their own girdle for the season. Thanks

Mr. Phillips
Grades 6-8
