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 Students

Our students are brilliantly resilient scholars who come from immigrant, blue-collar working households close to downtown LA. Many of them attend school year-round to catch up on reading and writing skills. These students tirelessly work toward fluency in English while continuing to persevere through the struggles of their community. The culture we are promoting at our school is college readiness through the use of AVID strategies such as physical organization, note taking, and paraphrasing. Students show up every day ready to tackle the days' objectives and build community with one another.

My Project

The students are so excited to learn more about volleyball! My team needs more equipment to expand our drills and team spirit!

When students are physically fit, they will achieve more academically.

Sport develops a sense of friendliness among the students and develops team spirit. It helps children to develop mental and physical toughness. This is because sports improve their blood circulation and their physical well-being. Our team is working on passing the ball and spiking, this equipment will allow them to have more ball-handling experience and move through drills faster. These students will be given the opportunity to further their learning in a new sport.
