My Project

I instruct ninth through twelfth grade high school students in physical education and sports. They rank among the most intelligent scholars in my school district. They look forward to attending class each day, and I ensure that they receive a quality education that prepares them for life after high school and into the workforce. Many of my students come from low-income families are often faced with not having what they need to be successful in school.

What I know about my students is that despite the challenges they face outside of school they don't let those factors deter them.

In the event of a local weather disaster my students are equipped with the knowledge to know what to do in such an event. My students will need a variety of resources to recover and get back on track when they return to school. My students will need Gatorade and water bottles to stay hydrated during class as they engage in physical activities. They will need healthy snacks to help them recover. They will use the laundry detergent and sanitizer to wash their uniforms and clothes as needed. The bar soap will be used to clean their-selves. The football will be used during practice and the sanitizer spray will help keep germs at bay.
