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 need balls! As time passes, the balls take a beating and must be replaced. Quality balls are expensive. These balls will allow students to practice and play in games with the necessary equipment. Our students take care of the equipment and use it to help them become better athletes. The baseball and basketball teams will use these new balls in practices and games. Specific balls are required for our league and need to be replaced. Baseballs can only be used once per game.

Ms. Jones East Side Community School Grades 9-12

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
