My Students

We are a middle school in East Los Angeles, with a student population of approximately 1,300 students. Although our families might not have the most resources, they do what they can to provide the best for their students at home. However, with the school's help, we are able to offer great after-school sports activities for students. With your help, we can help our teams include and recruit more students to our various after-school sports teams. Our students especially enjoy soccer and football, and we would love to help them with their sports needs.

My Project

The footballs and basketballs in this project will allow our teams to continue practicing and competing. We have strong after-school boys' and girls' teams and students will use the balls to further their athletic skills. The balls they are using now are coming to the end of their lifespans and this would be a refreshing addition.

Our students are dedicated to their sports, often bringing their own balls from home to continue practicing at lunch and breaks.

However, if we can provide more resources, we will be able to offer sports to more students. Let's get more students active!
