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 students really love volleyball but in our gym, we only have low nets made for indoor tennis. Our students are getting so good and are advancing so nicely, they are more than ready for higher nets. These nets are not nearly as expensive as we thought they would be so hopefully we are able to get this funded sooner than later.

Our current nets were great to introduce the game of volleyball and to learn the basics, but are way too low to play a proper game of volleyball.
