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

What I love most about my students is their energy, heart, and incredible teamwork. Our 5th grade soccer team is made up of students who are excited to learn, grow, and support each other on and off the field. For many of them, this is their first experience playing on an organized team, and they show up with enthusiasm and determination every day.

Unfortunately, we don’t have access to the equipment we need to run proper practices and games.

That’s where your support comes in. With new soccer balls, cones, practice pinnies, and goal nets, we’ll be able to set up skill drills, scrimmages, and team-building exercises that make practice meaningful and fun. These resources will help our students build not only their athletic abilities, but also confidence, discipline, and a strong sense of community.

Thank you for believing in our team and giving our students the opportunity to grow through sports!
