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

Post Covid, many students have lost their community connection and remained isolated. It is our intent as the EHHS Cross Country Team to help rebuild community involvement by encouraging team spirit. We have selected these sweatshirts that we will add our logos onto to continue our community campaign. Last spring, we received t-shirts and put our team logo on them, distributing them to our team; browsing participation was almost 90%, from 35 to 65 students. This practice season, we would like to bring it up a level, adding warmth to our wardrobe.
