My Project

I absolutely love each and everyone of my students, but what stands out the most is the enthusiasim they have when they know we have practice that day. Many of them have get excited about practice because they either have nothing to do outside of homework, or they have responsibilities at home they dread. Practice afterschool allows them to be around their friends and their peers.

After a long day of learning kids need some form of energy to carry them throughout the rest of the day.

I love when I announce during practice that it's break time. Many of them instead of walking to the bathroom to wash their hands, some skip to the bathroom like leprechauns knowing snack time has arrived.

With these snacks, it will take the burden off of many of the parents to supply snacks for our practices while taking on the responsibilites of their own households.
