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 Students

Our students are the changing faces of America! Most of our students are first-generation Americans. With over 90% of our school receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the need is there.

As a Title I school in East Las Vegas, our students need your help.

Our school is the first and only college prep charter school in East Las Vegas. Our students work rigorously during our extended year and extended day school. However, the success of our school revolves around the people. The teachers, students, families, and donors like you, make this school reach the levels some would see as impossible!

My Project

This spring we will be the first year our school competes at the state level in high school track and field. To do so, we need equipment both for training and safety.

The Las Vegas heat can be crushing, but this equipment will make sure our team is safe in the heat.

The Structural Foam Stock Tank and thermometer will allow coaches to monitor the health of our athletes and take proper measures.

The discus equipment will help train our first-ever athletes in discus while the agility ladder and resistance parachutes will help our athletes become faster and quicker. With your donation you will help our team run, throw, and jump for gold!
