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

The heart and spirit of our school need some love! The cheerleaders are always ready to lift school spirit at all the games, school programs, and pep rallies inside and sometimes out in the cold. The fleece leggings will help them be in uniform and keep them a little warmer. Many times, especially during night games, it's very cold. I'm always very proud of them because they keep the "Go Team" spirit while freezing.

In addition, when we go to away games, they often travel with items in grocery bags.

They will look like a well put-together team with matching team bags to carry their uniform and shoes. My goal as a coach is to make sure the team is safe and happy. So, having these items will keep them warm and looking like the great team that I see every day!
