Proposal


 * Graduation Project Proposal **

__Briefly describe your intended project__. Collecting new/used sports equipment to donate to a school/community organization. I will work with Mr. Rodoff and have collection boxes around the school. __Project Outcome or Goal__ As a result of my project, underprivileged children will be able to play sports through the use of the donated sports items. This will demonstrate my topic because it shows how athletics give back to the community and how sports help children. __Project Completion Strategies__ First, I will find a destination to send the equipment. Then, I will work on getting the news out to different schools in the area (besides SHS), such as the Mount and LaSalle. I will have a day where students from different schools can drop off their equipment. __Project Resources and Materials__ I will need collection boxes for around the school as well as a day/time/place to collect equipment from other schools. It will also be helpful to make a video to show on the morning announcements, as well as people to help spread the word and collect equipment.

__Research Topic:__ The topic of my research is the effect that athletics/community athletic programs have on children. __Essential Question:__ How do athletics benefit children? __Prior Experience:__ Yes, I played sports growing up and am also a volunteer field hockey and lacrosse coach. __Research Benefits:__ Children and community athletic programs will hopefully benefit from my project and my research. __Potential Sources:__ I can potentially talk to gym teachers and heads of community athletic programs, either in person or by email, in order to ask them how they think children benefit from sports.
