Project Soccer Star

The name of the project I created is Project Soccer Star. It is a soccer game for special needs children. During the two hours of the event the children will be doing soccer based activities and games. I will have high school volunteers there helping as well. I am pretty happy with my progress. I have a date and location (May 10th at Arlington High School), I have some volunteers, and now all I need is participants.  I handed flyers out to the Boces classes in the high school and I am planning on sending flyers to all the elementary schools. I hope I can get people soon because if I do the day will be great! I am meeting with the Mr. Keenan today so he can guide me in how to organize the day. Other than getting participants I just need to work on minor things such as a banner.

  1. I think this is project is an awesome idea! I think the special needs kids would love to participate in sports and I'm glad you're giving them an opportunity to do so. I hope you get participants. I'd be happy to volunteer if you need any more helpers.

  2. I think your project is coming along really well! It's wonderful that you're giving these children an opportunity to get together and be around people who have similar disabilities. I babysit a deaf and autistic child and I wish I could bring him to your event, but my project is that day. I wish you luck and I think you're doing great so far, keep up the great work!

  3. Kim,
    I'm hoping that you were able to secure more participants in the past few days. If not, I think turning it into more of a soccer "clinic" would be a good idea like we discussed. Please know that if you do not have a lot of participants it is certainly not due to a lack of effort on your part- you have gone above and beyond trying to cover all aspects of the project. You definitely have enough volunteers, which I think shows you how great of an opportunity you are offering to all students. I will meet with you today to see how you are doing and what else you need for tomorrow. Great job!
