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 Students

Athletics is a key part of our of school culture. We are a title one school and for many of our students athletics is a key motivator for academics in the classroom. Throughout the year about 50% of our students participate in an after school sport.

Sport programs at our school provide a safe place for our students to go after school, while teaching them neccesary life skills such as responsibility, teamwork and goal setting.

Our student athletes work hard, they balance academic expectations and school work, as well as sport practices and competiton. Sports serve as a point of pride for our students, there success on the field or court translates into success in the classroom and in life.

My Project

Basketball is more than just a game. It is a way for our students to stay motivated in the classroom, gives them a safe place to be after school, and builds essential life skills. We have four basketball teams two boys teams and two girls teams. With four teams sharing equipment this has taken it's toll on our basketballs and equipment bags. The teams need new basketballs for practices and games to allow them to continue building skills in basketball and stay competitive.

Your generous donation to this project will provide all of the teams with basketballs and equipement bags allowing them to continue to work hard on and off the court.

By donating to this project you are helping us continue developing student athletes that are dedicated in the classroom and on the court.
