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

Hi there! I'm an educator who is not only passionate for educating students, but I am also a passionate advocate for sports and extracurricular activities. I am excited to share with you an exciting new initiative at our school—a soccer club that promises to ignite the spirit of athleticism and camaraderie among our students.

For the first time ever, we are embarking on the journey of creating a soccer/futsal club, providing our students with an opportunity to showcase their talents, build teamwork skills, and foster a sense of belonging in our school community.

However, to bring this vision to life and ensure a successful inaugural season, we are in need of your support.

I am reaching out to kindly request contributions to acquire essential equipment and resources for our soccer club. From soccer nets and pinnies to indoor soccer balls and practice tools, every contribution will play a vital role in empowering our athletes to thrive and excel in this exciting new venture.

By providing these funds, you will not only enable us to establish a dynamic and inclusive soccer club, but also cultivate a culture of sportsmanship and dedication among our students. Your generosity will have a lasting impact on the lives of our athletes, instilling in them the values of discipline, resilience, and teamwork that extend far beyond the playing field.

Your support will be instrumental in realizing the full potential of our soccer club and enriching the lives of our students through the power of sports.

Thank you for considering this request and for your commitment to promoting athletic excellence and student engagement in our school community. Your contribution will be deeply appreciated and warmly celebrated by all who participate in our inaugural soccer club. The kiddos are beyond excited!

Mr. Ramirez
Grades 9-12
