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 Project

Being the track coach and a personal trainer I know and articulate the importance of water to the human body. I can tell you that the human body is 60 % water or that you can lose up to 7 % of your body weight during an intense practice or training session.

The water crisis of Jackson, MS has been well documented.

My school is in the heart of Jackson has suffered a lot from these issues, yet my student athletes still persevere. I plan on using these bottles of water for our practices and track meets.
