My Students
I teach some of the greatest students on Earth!! They are energetic, active, and hardworking. I’ve had a chance to learn so much about each of them and also myself throughout our experiences together. We use strength training as a means to improve our mental toughness and levels of physical fitness. I hope the lessons they learn daily will stick with them for a lifetime. Teaching in a Title I school has its challenges, especially those related to finances.
My Project
Our students are hardworking, committed and enthusiastic. They simply lack the tools (in this case weights) to reach their goals. Each of them have shown so much growth throughout their time in our "Yellow Jackets Getting Stronger" strength training program.
With these new resources I'm sure they'll reach new heights and set even higher personal goals!
The dumbbells will allow the students to challenge themselves mentally and physically in ways that they've never been able to do so before. Adding these pieces of equipment will enable students to work more productively and efficiently as we currently do not have the number of necessary dumbbells for them to work together at the same time.
Nearly all 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
