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

Last year, I was given the incredible opportunity to serve as a Head Track & Field Coach and teacher for the very first time. I had the honor of leading a team of talented and committed students who were truly passionate about track and field. Witnessing so many students express their interest in the sport was an absolute joy, and it was a pleasure to have over 100 enthusiastic participants eager to give it their all. This was a significant improvement from previous years, where we had only 15 participants who were fully committed under the previous head coach.

However, despite our team's incredible dedication and hard work, we encountered an unexpected challenge - we had no proper equipment for our students to practice with during the track and field season.

This meant that our students were not able to prepare adequately for events and compete at their best. Watching my students practice without the necessary equipment was heart-wrenching. Despite this obstacle, our team persevered and made the most of what we had. But it was clear that our students would greatly benefit from having the proper equipment to train with.

This is why this project means so much to me - it will help these students grow and learn from positive and rewarding experiences in track and field, representing our school with pride and dignity. I am excited about the potential impact this project could have on our students. With the right equipment, our students will be able to achieve their full potential and gain valuable skills and experiences that will benefit them for years to come. Any support we can get would be greatly appreciated in helping these students pursue their dreams and reach their goals.
