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 Project

Our swim team members are determined to swim as fast as they can, in their races, to win that coveted ribbon.

My team will swim their four races each in their chosen event.

There are 32 events in all! Many of my swimmers bring their ribbons to school to wear around their necks to show to their classmates. I have saved my ribbons for 40 years, and still proudly display them in my living room. I know that my swimmers will be doing the same. Please help us by contributing .
