Celebrating 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
Not having a home playing field or a safe space to swing for the fences hasn't affected our dedication, determination and heart. Help us become champions! Our very first girls' softball middle school team who dare to start from the bottom needs a batting training aid to take us to the top!
My young middle school students have endured in life what most adults have yet to experience but they still have the courage to continue on.
Battling an environment plagued with poverty, drugs and gang violence, our school strives to provide these students with hope and inspire them to succeed. These young brilliant minds have become shackled to the ideologies of poverty. Teachers at our school have dedicated our lives to liberate them so they can be free. Our newly formed girls' softball will give our female students the opportunity to be active in a productive manner.
My Project
The resources donated to the Lady Tigers will give our girls the opportunity to swing for the fences using a standard softball that is sting free! With the batting aid, our girls will improve their reaction time as well as have the opportunity to perfect their swing and become fierce competitors, giving them the chance to be true champions!
The obstacle of not having a safe space or a home playing field will no longer exist.
Resources donated will help my young athletes gain confidence, determination and self-esteem, becoming successful leaders and team builders in all that they do. They will share a culture that emphasizes pride and team spirit.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
