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

This project will benefit the student athletes at my school. The volleyballs that are in the project will give my students the equipment they need to learn the skills of passing, setting, serving, and hitting for the volleyball season.

My students are hardworking and dedicated to improving their skills in volleyball.

The materials in this project will help them achieve their goals of being good passers, setters, and spikers. Have enough equipment if crucial to their success. My student athletes are dedicated to sports and will truly learn and grow from having these materials.
