Creating their own cheer shirts gave them a sense of pride, teamwork, and joy, and it allowed them to step into the season feeling connected and confident as a team.\r\n\r\nOur next step is working towards securing real cheerleading uniforms for the team. While the custom shirts have allowed the girls to look unified and step into the season with confidence, we are now focusing on obtaining official uniforms so they can fully represent our school with pride.

My marine science magnet middle school students at our Title 1 middle school in Southeast Florida love to spend time outdoors. Many middle school teens today don't really understand the harmful impacts of exposure to the sun's rays. Donations to this project provided funding for sunshades, a portable water cooler, and scientific skin cancer related information. \r\nThe skin cancer information was able to be utilized in our Biomedical Science elective classes. Students learned about safe practices and how to protect themselves from the sun's harmful rays. This impactful project provided our students with tools to understand the importance of safe sun exposure. The Sun Shade sails provide important shade over our student (remotely operated vehicles) ROV practice pool, providing the students with a safe space to work on their ROV skills. The water cooler has been used at all of our field excursions as well as during our work time in school garden to keep the kids hydrated and healthy. With the items from this project, we have been able to safely enjoy outdoor activities while keeping in mind the harmful sun exposure that comes with being outside in the South Florida sun.
