My Students

My students are very nice children who come from low-income families, mostly from Harlem and the Bronx; some of them live in shelters or are in foster care. Many students live in the projects and as a result, were not exposed to many interesting things that science can offer. However, all my students are very respectful and curious. This year, high school girls came up with idea to establish the volleyball girls team to increase of awareness of how being active can help mentally and physically.

My Project

This is the first year that our high school girls decided to establish the volleyball team at our school. We have been playing for only 2 months but we are improving every day. To increase our improvement rate we would need some training aid sets. We need balls so everyone could have its own ball to practice in school as well as at home during the weekends. We need the training aid kits to address some misconceptions and make girls more professional, we need a volleyball bin to keep all our ball together during the practice. We think that these above mentioned supplies are very important and they will help us to get better and successful
