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 Warriors softball team has the heart, the drive, and the talent. Not only is the team working hard physically by training on and off season, but they are also working hard academically to maintain the grade requirements they need in order for them to be able to play. Now, all that we are missing is new equipment to help us improve our athletic softball abilities! In training with new Easton Sports bats, training softballs, and Easton Sports gloves, our team is sure to win 1st at District! Help us take the Warriors softball team to the TOP!
