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 Students

Our students are from diverse backgrounds, but most students in our district share socioeconomic challenges. This project focuses on our football program, which is under new leadership this year. The history of our program spans 16 years, and we want to provide the community with a first class environment for the young people to develop. There are many upgrades that we would like to make happen with your help. These students have all the ability to succeed on and off the field, as long as we provide them with the resources.

My Project

Proper tackling technique can be the difference between playing another down, or suffering a life-changing injury. Having the ability to repeatedly teach and execute proper tackling form on the S-POP UP TACKLER from Rae Crowther Co. will increase the strength necessary and ability to safely bring ball carriers to the ground. This elite piece of equipment is the type of training aid that we need to be ready to safely compete each day in practice and on Friday nights in the football rich state of Georgia.

We need your help to purchase top-notch equipment to ensure the safety and success of our student-athletes.
