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
Predominately lower-income Hispanics make up 85% of our school. Many live in multi-family homes where extended families share one small house. We are in the highest bracket for free and reduced-price lunch in our district. Our school district gave free lunch to every student through October to help reduce expenses as we rebuild due to the natural disaster (Hurricane Harvey). Every single athlete was impacted by Hurricane Harvey. Two days after the worst of the storm our high school team started volunteering to local assistance such as Red Cross. Dozens of athletes came up to help distribute clothes, meals, or play with children.
These students lost a lot of time and stuff because of the hurricane.
We want to help the culture of our school get back on track.
My Project
The materials of this project will give both the softball and baseball teams to be successful. The wrist coaches will be utilized to assist in learning the different play calls. Most players have challenges remembering the strategy that is requested to be executed. The wrist coach will eliminate any confusion and keep all players on the same page. The fastpitch softball first base mitt will be used by the first baseman. This glove has a bigger pocket to increase the chances at a routine out at first base. The baseball first base mitt helps with protection at the thumb area and increases the opportunity to catch the ball.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
