My Project

My students are energetic and anxious to get back to our annual end of the year Field Day. We are a Title I school in the east end of Houston. Field Day gives the students an opportunity to demonstrate, understand, and gain the knowledge of sportsmanship, team work, and cooperation. Field Day always inspires good health, staying in shape and school spirit. Since the events and restraints of COVID, this activity has been postponed for three years. Now is the perfect time for the students to celebrate returning to face to face learning, building social skills, and raising the morale of the school! Our Field Day is full of fantastic Fun and Games in the Texas heat of May. We need shaded hydration stations for our students to rest, re-energize, and rehydrate in between their strenuous activities. Please help us keep our students safe with these Pop-up Canopy Tents!
