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

These specific items will and can benefit scholars who play sports, and those who do not. Throughout the school year I have tried different things to engage scholars to having fun while working, and these things will help. It will allow us to play games while learning to make everyone feel involved. I work with an amazing and competitive generation, so I look forward to making their learning more enjoyable for them. As far as the student athletes that will benefit, I am the volleyball coach. This will be my second year, and last year the need for balls, a cart, strength bands, etc. is a HUGE necessity for growth.
