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

The track spikes and parachutes requested in this project will allow my athletes the opportunity to train and compete on a high level and perform with shoes equipped for this sport. This will alleviate injuries due to running in improper shoes.

My goals for this project are designed to provide my students with resources that will give them a fair shot at competing with surrounding schools and prepare them for high school sports.

My students are driven and show great potential in track and field. They are not only creative but desire to show how well rounded they are.
