My Students

My students walk into our school every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day and ready to hit the practice field so they can excel in sports. Being a STUDENT-athlete is very important to this special group of young men.

I teach at a Title I school in North Carolina where a lot of the students are on free and reduced lunch.

Many of my student-athletes do not have any of the necessities to practice/play football but they come out everyday and give their all.

My Project

My students need shoulder pads for practice and games. This will ensure that they are properly equipped. These shoulder pads will not only help the 7th and 8th graders that are on the team now, but kids who will play in the near future. I think this would be a great investment for our students. It will also ensure that they are safe while playing a game that they love. My students need shoulder pads to provide updated football uniform equipment to adhere to the recommendations of current research to limit body injuries. When we receive these items, it will boost our students' moral. They will also become more confident on the football field knowing they have new and safe equipment on. The most important aspect of this project is to ensure our students are safe.
