This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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 Students
My school is a brand new Title I, at-risk school, with a population of over 70% English Language Learners. The majority of our kids are struggling with so many outside challenges.
School is the one place our kids can feel loved, supported, safe, and secure!
We are very fortunate to allow our students to participate in sports programs, such as cheerleading! Our cheerleaders work so hard, trying to conquer and surpass their goals in all situations. My team is a group of diverse young ladies who compete with teams and schools with years of cheer and gymnastics experience. We do not have that advantage. We work hard, set goals, and do everything we can to make it happen!
My Project
Our cheerleaders need team jackets! We are excited and ready to attend school fully in person this year! Our cheerleaders are the heart of the school and the community! They work hard to promote positivity in our new building. We are getting ready for the upcoming basketball season and the colder weather. Team jackets will give the girls confidence as they participate in various events. This opportunity will also cut down on the costs and fees for parents. So many of our families on the East side struggle daily, even more now due to the pandemic. The funding of this project will give students a chance to be a part of something they love!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
