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 student-athletes are simply amazing. The amount of effort they put forth in the classroom is matched completely by the effort they put forth on the football field. As the season approaches, these student-athletes are finding it difficult to find the resources to purchase footballs to hold decent practices with. Our athletes have still given their very best effort in the sport they love. They show up to practice daily, commit extra time to perfecting their craft and are on time to classes the very next day.

In order to have a strong season, our athletes need footballs to practice with.

The spirit and unity of the team is already there. With the assistance of needed football resources to help them improve their athletic skills, they will be even stronger as they work toward accomplishing their goals. Supplies for practices will help them to continue to hone their skills and become the best flag football players they can be as they receive direction from their coaches.

Our Thundercats' flag football team is poised to have a strong flag football season as they bounce back from a tough season last year, and these supplies will help them do it.
