My Students

My school's students are a diverse group of great kids from a small rural area of Louisiana. All of them want to achieve, but many face barriers to academic success, including challenges outside of the school setting.

A positive thing that many of our students share is a love of soccer and pride in our school!

My goal is to help all of our students achieve success. Not just in school, but also in life. Preparing them to enter a global community and become productive members of society is our primary goal.

My Project

Our school's sports programs are truly struggling this year. Between COVID and the Hurricanes, it seems like we truly cannot catch a break. Traditionally we would hold bake sales and other fundraising events to raise funds for the items we need but this year many of those traditional means of fundraising are not available. We are writing this project in hopes of obtaining a camcorder that will be used to record games and practices. This will allow us to analyze current practices and help our players improve on the skills that will not only help us improve as a team, but will also help them to improve as individuals. Additionally, the game footage will be used to develop stat/player reels which our students can use when trying to apply for athletic scholarships or for recruiting purposes for colleges. This would be a huge blessing for our team's players and we are grateful for your time and consideration.
