it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
We have an amazing group of female runners and we would love to have headbands to wear at races to build team spirit! During the pandemic, we didn't know how our running team would be, because we expected lower numbers due to parents/guardians opting for their children to stay safe at home. Fortunately, we had a solid, small group of eager and motivated 6th grade female runners who have become the anchor of our team. Their work ethic, kindness, spirit, energy, and enthusiasm carried our team through the pandemic.
This year, they are 7th graders and continue to be the anchor of our team.
Our attendance is now as high as its ever been pre-pandemic and our core group from last year have served as excellent role models for our new runners. New runners always look up to the older ones. As more and more races open up to youth for running again, team headbands would be a great way to boost team spirit and increase team camaraderie during races. A little positive energy can go a long way in the race! Every one of our female runners will be connected by wearing something in common that's more than a team shirt.
