My Students

I teach ambitious and hardworking young women attending a pregnant and parenting minors secondary alternative school. Along with full-time parenting and part-time working (some full-time), my students are academically dedicated. They show up to school each day and work extremely hard to stay on track for graduation. Each has a goal of attending college immediately following high school. I, along with others, have made it our mission to ensure that they have the necessary resources and supports for academic success and emotional well-being.

Positive emotional and physical health are absolute necessities for all students - but especially important for empowering teen mothers.

Each student possesses the necessary grit and positive mindsets needed to be successful. However, they have collectively expressed a desire to work more consistently on their physical health. As parents, students, and employees they do not have enough time in their day for self-care; and unfortunately, our site lacks physical education equipment. My hope is that the public will assist us with obtaining fitness equipment - which will be made available to students during physical education class and also before and after school.

Thank you for your time and generosity!

My Project

The health benefits attributed to physical activity are tremendous. Specifically, they are a necessary deterrent for poor health and also encourage positive and healthy living. My high school students are also parents who often do not have time outside of their school day to tend to their physical health needs.

The goal of this project is to empower teen mothers through physical activity.

My students are hardworking and confident. However, they have expressed a desire to improve their physical and emotional well-being through exercise. Many have fallen into the monotony of childcare and work and in the midst of this routine have not had the time or energy for self-care. My hope is that by providing guided instruction and opportunities to utilize fitness equipment during the school day they will have the time and energy needed to take care of their physical well-being.
