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

This year I will be coaching our school's middle school volleyball teams again, and would like to be able to provide more materials for practice. By doing so, we can run more effective drills and ensure more practice time for all students!

The more volleyballs available, the better practice can go!

In the past we have had as few as 8 volleyballs to use with approximately 40 student athletes. Although we do our best to share, this limits the abilities we have for utilizing practice time. We appreciate any additional volleyballs we can get!
