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

Our softball team is filled with student-athletes who exemplify what it means to be a stellar team member. These young ladies work very hard throughout their season and have proven they can be winners. The past four out of the five years they have excelled and earned the district's top award of district champions. These fastpitch backpacks will give our students a renewed energy of having equivalent equipment other schools showcase around the league.

Our Lady Fastpitch Team's goal is to once again become Conference and District Champions, these backpacks would give them that drive to continue in excellence.

In regards to safety, these backpacks are ergonomically designed to have these athletes hold a large amount of equipment on their back without the added stress on their growing spines and lower lumbar. These are tough young ladies who do not shy away from hard work, but these backpacks can make things a bit easier on their bodies. Thank you for your consideration of our team project.
