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 team players are eager to get out on the court. Having a safe environment for my players to let out their energy will help them come back to class ready to learn. Teams will work together all while collaborating effectively to play the sport.

With the volleyball equipment my players will be able to participate in team sports.

Our players are very passionate for the sport, and they would be very excited to know that they have equipment on the way. I have seen how this will positively affect my players both with in class engagement, as well as outside of the class.
