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
My students are an incredibly diverse population. They come from many different cultures and backgrounds. I have many students that have a primary language other than English.
Many of my students receive free or reduced-price lunch; this allows them to have free or reduced-cost breakfast as well, but they are not able to actually get to school early enough every day to utilize this opportunity.
They work incredibly hard and are very attentive. Most of my students are preparing for college, some directly for a career, and a few for the military.
We are trying to create a community of tolerance, acceptance, and compassion within our school and our teams/clubs. The school is so incredibly diverse (religion, ethnicity, socio-economic, single-parent homes, grandparent homes, etc.), with many immigrants.
My Project
This project is for the transportation costs for our varsity teams. We have many spring sports: Lacrosse, Soccer, Track & Field, Baseball, Softball, and Tennis. We need to cover the transportation costs going to the various fields around town for both practices and for games.
It is vital that our teams be able to practice every single day and some of the fields are not within a reasonable walking/jogging distance.
Many of our sports have the students jog to the field, but we need transportation to the official game fields and courts. Our Baseball and Softball team need to be able to get back and forth to our field and the tennis team needs to be able to go to the additional courts.
Thank you so much for supporting our varsity teams.
