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
Excited is how I would describe my students. Excited to play on their very first ever organized sports team. The materials I am requesting will be used to help propel my scholars into the world of organized sports. The balls will be used for practice and official games and the socks will be used as part of their uniforms to show solidarity. Basketball will not only give my students a sense of belonging but will help to teach life skills and aid in social-emotional wellness.
Basketball is not just a game, it will help to foster a bond of sisterhood and belonging that will never be broken.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
