My Project

The students in our school's Skate Club are fearless. They have brought the first ever skate club to the school in its 53 year history, persevered from having no skate skills to being able to carve, kick turn, skate switch, and some have begun to ollie.

Through my students' skating accomplishments, I have witnessed their confidence grow and socio-emotional skills excel.

They get up and help each other up after falls, they practice moving out of their comfort zone into the challenge zone, they support each other with encouragement and tips, and they have fun.

While the falling aspect of skateboarding is no longer intimidating or humiliating, I would like to eliminate the pain and risk of injury to give the students more courage to try new skills. Your donation of protective equipment will do that for the Skate Club and will give students the good habit of wearing protective gear when skating.
