Mr. Berry from Cleveland OH is requesting sports & exercise equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

The Future of Flag Football

Help me give my students footballs, a ball storage rack and exercise mats, for the joy of playing a sport that they love and learning how to play an organized sport. With the items in my cart, I will be able to teach them the techniques of football.

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

Working in a inner city school has taught me a lot about my students. I currently work in a middle school building with all different kinds of students. I am in a school where the students are eager to learn. They are not just eager to learn in the classroom but also outside. Seeing my students eager to learn encourages me to keep going. I love to see them excited to learn something new. My students aren't afraid to dive into a project, they love the entire process of learning something new.

My Project

During recess at my school, the students play flag football daily, the young ladies and gentlemen love it. For my school's project, I would like to implement organized flag football. I've played football for years and believe that I can use my knowledge to teach the students in my school the game. Many of the students do not know the correct way to play the sport. With the funds allocated to my school, I want to teach them everything about the sport and help them develop as athletes.

Watching the students play flag football at recess, I've noticed how happy they are.

They are always eager to learn new things. I believe that once organized flag football is introduced to my students they will love the game even more. They will be able to take the knowledge from the game and develop it even more with time. Whether they play football for their community or in years to come on another level. Organized flag football will not just teach my students about the sport but also about team building.
