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

Physical education delivers cognitive content and instructional strategies to enhance motor skills, knowledge, and behaviors necessary for physical activity and fitness. Supporting schools in implementing daily physical education can equip students with the skills and confidence to engage in lifelong physical activity.

A volleyball net and an adjustable basketball goal allow students to participate in inclusive lessons, fostering a culture of play and competition.

Volleyball and basketball not only unite friends and families in recreational activities but also facilitate the formation of lifelong friendships and bonds. From instilling character-building attributes such as leadership, teamwork, respect, and communication to promoting physical well-being and an active lifestyle, volleyball and basketball offer many skills that can be carried on throughout life.
