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 are simply amazing. The amount of effort they put forth in the classroom is matched completely by the effort they put forth on the soccer field. As the season approaches, these student-athletes are finding it difficult to find the resources to purchase soccer balls. Regardless, our athletes have still given their very best effort in the sport they love. They show up to practice daily, commit extra time to perfect their craft, and are on time to their classes the very next day.

To have a strong season, our athletes need new soccer balls.

The spirit and unity of the team are already there. With the assistance of needed soccer resources to help them improve their athletic skills, they will be even stronger as they work toward accomplishing their goals. Supplies for practices will help them to continue to hone their skills and become the best soccer players they can be as they receive direction from their coaches.

Our soccer team is poised to have a strong soccer season as they bounce back from a tough season last year, and these supplies will help them do it.
