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

As a school in East Oakland, we tend to lack funds to receive the equipment we need to ensure we can give our student-athletes the best middle school experience. Our volleyball team has been more than successful through my four years of coaching, yet we lack equipment. We currently have six volleyballs with a roster of 25 girls. We hope to have enough equipment (net, balls, and poles) for every student on our roster. Our girls come out and give 150% daily while ensuring they stay on top of their grades. We wish to prepare them as much as possible for high school and hope to continue doing so.
