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

As a P.E. teacher who helps with after-school sports, I am fortunate to interact with nearly every elementary student that attends my school. They enjoy P.E. because, in my class, we strive to get every student involved and try to make something great happen every day. My students accept challenges and always rise to the expectation that is set for them. This attitude is especially impressive when you consider that my students are part of an incredibly diverse school community.

I teach at a Title I School in Nevada in which a high percentage of my students come from bilingual homes and receive free lunch.

My students often face tough obstacles in their lives but arrive at school smiling and ready to learn. They love their teachers and they adore their principal. Our school truly is a community – a family. We each do our part, as students and teachers work side by side with one mission in mind: our students’ success. Each classroom in our school has their college graduation date written on the board. We help the students set their goals high and we strive to help them achieve those goals.

My Project

My student-athletes are attending a brand new school this year. We have high aspirations to start our athletic program despite the current status of our school with COVID-19. During the long history of our school's charter, we have not yet offered hockey to our students. We are hoping to give them that opportunity this year. We have a plethora of students in our school that are interested in the fundamentals of hockey. We want to start a program that caters to their development level and provides them with an opportunity to improve their skills and enjoy the game.

This equipment will provide the student-athletes with the tools that are necessary to learn skills and foster their budding interest in hockey.

We currently have no inventory of hockey equipment. This project makes it possible to have the basic materials, such as sticks and pucks, to teach hockey fundamentals to our students. This project will give my young students the chance to explore a sport they are passionate about. It will allow them to be a part of a team that represents their school. This project will show them that they are just as capable as their peers from other schools in the area. I, much like my students, am very excited about the potential creation of our school hockey team and this project will make a huge difference.
