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

At our school we use athletics as a tool to teach our students about life and keep them out of trouble. These soccer balls, with all the other equipment, makes it possible to run a successful program. The reality is that equipment is very expensive and we don't always have the means to buy what is needed.

Our students are hardworking kids that are always looking for an opportunity to grow and be successful.

We pride ourselves on always doing everything on our hands to be there for them. Thanks to you, this is possible!
