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

We have both a boys' and girls' soccer team that proudly represents our school during the soccer season and will benefit greatly from new soccer equipment. The soccer balls will be used to have effective practices to better prepare for the season. The cones will be used for drills to improve their soccer skills.

Early preparation is key to future success

Having enough good quality equipment is important for players to know they are supported by the school community. Good effective practices will allow our students to play their games with confidence as they move past middle school sports.
