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 nine softball gloves.
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 all our girls the opportunity to practice catching and throwing skills while using their own gloves instead of sharing. All the girls will be able to participate in the necessary drills in order to become fierce competitors. With every Lady Tiger having their own glove, our girls will improve their catching skills in a collaborative effort to become true champions!
The obstacle of not having enough gloves for every girl 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
