My Project

What I love about my students is that they love to compete and have fun. We also love to communicate and share ideas. We are a small knit community full of school pride. My students love expressing themselves. We also love to play games. The goal of this project is to have all the necessary supplies and resources for my boy's track team. These materials will have a profound impact on my students' athletic ability to compete. The hurdles will be used during track practice. We do not have a track field to practice on. The backpacks are used for students to keep their personal belongings in the stands at the track meet. I want my students to look and feel good. The batons will be used for students to practice daily with the baton exchange. The more you practice, the better you will become.

With your help and assistance, I will be able to support my student athletes with track equipment.
