Help me give my students insulated portable wheeled coolers. Ice chests allow for proper storage of perishable snacks, keeping athletes fueled and energized throughout long meets.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Providing ice chests for our track team during meets is essential for athlete performance, safety, and recovery. With intense physical exertion and exposure to varying weather conditions, access to cold water and ice helps prevent dehydration, overheating, and muscle fatigue. Ice chests also allow for proper storage of perishable snacks, keeping athletes fueled and energized throughout long meets.
Additionally, ice packs can be readily available for injuries, reducing swelling and promoting faster recovery.
By investing in ice chests, we prioritize the health, well-being, and peak performance of our athletes, ensuring they compete at their best.
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
