My Project

Hello everyone.

I am proud, honored to be Petersen Elementary School 5th grade Math Teacher and Soccer Coach.

Our kids, our school, our community is located in low socioeconomic area in the South side of Houston.

I am so happy to tell you all that our School soccer team is in 2nd year.

I am so excited for the students and the community around us. We had over 50 students try out for the team, but only 24 were chosen to represent the school. I wish I could have pick them all. We have 8 girls and 16 boys in the team. We are called the TIGERZ.

We are in need of Soccer Equipment. Bags, ball, soccer band to practice.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Mr. Kim Petersen Elementary School Grades 3-5
