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

My students are a group of hardworking and resilient young ladies who are from low income families at an inner city school. Finances and resource to supply equipment needed for them to train is costly and difficult to secure.

Your support will assist our young ladies to secure the "Skills For The Field" by helping us get a training bat and balls needed to help them develop their fielding skills and technique.

These items will ensure that our girls will receive the proper training to execute and apply skills developed in the areas of fielding and catching.

These materials will be really helpful for my students and will ensure they perform their best.

Mr. Jackson
Grades 9-12
