My Project

What I love about my students is their desire to compete and have fun. A competition can me made with any activity. We enjoy talking about life and setting goals. I get so excited when they come in and ask me what are we going to do today. My students also have many challenges that cause them to struggle mentally, academically, socially, and athletically. Despite these challenges, I want their experience with me to be memorable and nurturing. These materials will have a profound impact on my students' ability to development teamwork and individual growth. The equipment for Badminton, Pickleball, and Basketball will be used to teach each sport.. The cart will be used for storage and teach responsibility and accountability with my students.

With your help, I will.

have a plethora of materials that will supplement our athletic after school and during school program.
