Help me give my students the resources they need to succeed! My team needs full panel cheer mats. We have a talented group of girls that need to feel safe while they are practicing and preparing to preform.
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 school is a Title 1, at-risk school, with a population of over 70% English Language Learners. The majority of our kids are struggling with so many outside challenges.
School is the one place our kids can feel loved, supported, safe and secure!
We are very fortunate to be able to give our students an opportunity to participate in sports programs, such as cheerleading! Our cheerleaders work so hard trying to conquer and surpass their goals! My team is a group of diverse young ladies that compete with teams and schools that have years of cheer and gymnastics experience. We do not have that advantage. We work hard, set goals, and do everything we can to make it happen!
My Project
We need full panel cheer mats in order to continue growing our cheer program. We are the underdogs compared to many of our surrounding schools. We are definitely not your typical cheer team with years of gymnastics, tumbling, or cheer experience. We are, however, dedicated and driven to set goals and surpass them! We currently have one mat. We tape off the dimensions of mats to help the girls with their formations to prepare for competitions. We are very limited with what we can do on one mat. My girls need these for safety reasons and the goal to grow!
