FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Gutierrez's classroom raised $942

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

As a softball team we need to improve our team batting average. We need to get better at hitting. The batting cage and batting mat will help our players develop proper technique an become more efficient practicing. The cage will be an essential part of our preparation. We will not longer have to chase down softballs and waste time collecting softballs. We will be able to have hitting stations that will be set up around the cage. A cage will help us become a better hitting team by virtue of more practice. It will be used daily.
