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 student-athletes come from a low economic area. It's hard for parents to provide school supplies for their children. Sports are a good way to build up a child's self-esteem and will help their attendance in school. When it comes to volleyball it is necessary that all athletes have knee pads to protect themselves. I look forward to my students using the new equipment and working on improving their basic and intermediate volleyball skills. Thanks in advance for your kind consideration regarding the needed equipment. Every child will appreciate your kindness.

Grades 3-5
