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

I love my students for their energy, curiosity, and resilience. They show up each day ready to learn, grow, and support one another, inspiring me with their determination and teamwork.

Providing basketballs, volleyballs, and soccer balls will give them meaningful ways to stay active, build social skills, and develop confidence through play.

These items will serve as positive incentives, encouraging participation, good behavior, and a healthy lifestyle. Sports offer more than fun—they foster community, discipline, and joy. With your support, we can give our students the tools they need to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
