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
Soccer season is around the corner. My students have been excited for the season since the first day of school. Not even the pandemic could stop their excitement. Sadly, I do not have enough soccer shorts for my athletes to wear during game days. I currently have shorts that are very old and do not match our uniforms. Many of the shorts we have fit the kids very small. It makes them feel self-conscious when it's time for game days.
My students really love and enjoy playing soccer every day.
It’s their favorite thing to do. They are so excited to start the season soon.
These athletes deserve these soccer shorts for many reasons.
My student-athletes are very hard-working kids. I am hoping to gain these shorts, to bring joy to the team. I know they will appreciate it. I know they would be excited over the new shorts, because they will actually match our uniform and it won't fit them so small. Most importantly they will look good, feel good, and play good. These kids deserve a lot, and I am asking for your help to give them that. I know you might think why would anybody be excited over new shorts, but when you play a sport and if you get anything new it just makes you feel a certain way and that's what I am trying to bring to my student-athletes.
More than half of students from low‑income households
