Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

As featured on the Ellen Show and inspiring many across the entire world, my middle school softball program is more than just a team, but a family of sisters who encourage and support each other while enduring the struggles of inner-city life. They've shared their story detailing the courageous story of a team overcoming cancer and poverty. Softball has become a way of life, a means to escape the harsh reality of life and simply enjoy being a teen.

Honored by Ellen Degeneres, the NY Yankees, and NY Mets, my middle school softball program gives girls a reason to fight for their education.

My Project

The 95 Storm Softball team practice in a confined space in a shared area within our school gymnasium. Unfortunately, this limits the type of skills we can practice safely. The softball safety screens will help protect our players as they practice and perfect their swing in our batting cage.

Being limited to what we can practice has been our number one disadvantage when it comes to preparing for our softball season.

Having our gymnasium protected by the softball safety screens will greatly benefit our team and contribute to our potential success on the field.
