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

The Schurz Bulldogs Volleyball has been heading in a positive direction, which includes a change to a more competitive and unified team. The girls love volleyball and are excited for the upcoming season. The Lady Bulldogs are seeking to be competitive this year and have expressed the desire to train for it through preseason conditioning. To accomplish that, we are looking to get the equipment that we will help strengthen the girls. This summer, they will be able to spend their time together, being physically active and working towards a successful season!
