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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Backpacks are crucial for the student athlete lifestyle. The high school girls' basketball program would benefit greatly from utilizing backpacks. Being an inner city school district, it is challenging for the athletes to obtain a backpack on their own. The district provides the athletes with a uniform and apparel to travel and compete in but backpacks would be an even greater asset. Being a second year coach of the program, it is my hope to provide our student-athletes with the necessary exposure to see different opportunities for their future.

My hope is to get backpacks for the Varsity team.

We all know the saying "When you look good, you feel good" and the Lady Tornadoes would love your support.
