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
We are a Title I school in Memphis, Tennessee. These students come in all ages and ability levels. Wrestling teaches life more than any classroom would as there is no one to blame, but yourself. My student-athletes maintain high academics and work hard in athletics. This program is being built from the ground up. We maintain a 3.25 team GPA or higher every semester and have set school records in the last couple of years. We plan on breaking more as time goes on.
My Project
My project is helping kids give an opportunity to not have to carry their gear. The bags will help carry our bats and gloves to carry to games. The ball bucket will allow us to store the baseballs and be able to have a more effective practice by having a central location to store the balls. We have two left-handed players and need left-handed gloves for those two players. The knee savers will help out our catcher as he cannot squat for that long without needing to stand up for a bit. The knee savers have helped him in the past.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
