My Students

My students come from a variety of different economic backgrounds with over 50% of our students receiving free lunch. Our school is also one of the most ethnically diverse schools in Queens. Students speak a multitude of languages including English, Spanish, Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Arabic.

My Project

Our school has a basketball team and a soccer team. The teams need to organize their equipment. Being able to keep our new equipment organized will allow Mr. M and myself (Coaches) to conduct our practices more effectively.

Having our team equipment organized will allow us to save time during our weekly practices and it will also allow us to disinfect equipment efficiently and effectively.

Team sports help teach adolescents accountability, dedication, leadership and other skills. Students are so excited to play with their teams again since the Covid-Epidemic. Thank you for supporting teachers and our future!
