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

Our soccer goals are tearing apart form the harsh Arizona sun. Our students love to be active and healthy at recess by playing all sorts of games and activities. One of the most popular recess activities that keeps a huge group of our kids active and having fun is soccer. The nets have begun to shred and tear because of the constant use along with the harsh sun.

New soccer nets will help catch not only soccer balls but hundreds of smiles from our students playing and having fun.

Soccer is an inexpensive and popular sport with our families and community and not having soccer goal nets to catch the soccer balls will start to take the fun out of making a goal for our kids.

Help us get some new soccer nets to keep making soccer fun and exciting while keeping our students active. Students love to play soccer at recess and it keeps their bodies active, healthy and strong.
