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

Hello all! I am looking to get donations for this incredible opportunity for my students to compete with other schools locally to play baseball. I work in upper Manhattan, so many of my students do not have the appropriate materials to practice their baseball skills.

The tees, the balls, gloves, and the bean bags are all tools that can be used that we do not have at the moment to help them catch, throw, and hit properly.

My students are very thrilled to have the opportunity to use this equipment if these items get donated. Thank you all in advance for your much-needed help.

Mr. Alvarez
Grades 3-5
