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

The coaches at our middle school are dedicated to students who want to compete/learn about sports and conditioning. With the help of your donations to obtain the equipment, it will allow us to train athletes to achieve their goals.

For most students, it’s their first time learning how to workout or compete in track and field, or even the basics of softball.

Our goal is to give them an experience so that they may grow a love for it and continue to seek opportunities to grow in the various sports. This also will be utilize for the entire school through their physical education classes.

We do the best with what we have, however, we would love for them to experience what other schools in their district are able to have and enjoy. Thank you for supporting our student athletes. They will love the surprise equipment.
