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 CES soccer team, the Cougars, have had 2 seasons so far, but are struggling to compete to their fullest potential. The Cougars are limited due to being in an urban school with limited resources. This year only a few of our players had shin guards and socks to play in games. I had to make several pairs of shin guards out of foam for the rest of the team. Practices were tough with the lack of enough soccer balls and cones. We have awesome soccer players who deserve better. They love the game and play super hard. All of the soccer balls, soccer socks, shin guards, and training equipment will allow the CES Cougars to soar.
