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

At my school building, I have a high percentage of students who come from low-income families, which puts them at an even greater disadvantage. I am not able to ask. my students and their families to contribute financially, in order for me to be able to provide sporting equipment.

My after school softball team provides a fun environment where I teach student-athletes skills they can use on and off the field.

Taking part in a sports team, like softball, will help my students clear their minds. Softball also provides Social and Emotional Learning.

Mr. Myers
Grades 9-12
