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

The soccer team is always in need of balls and a new bag would not hurt either. This would be for both the female and male soccer teams at my middle school. As a coach for sports, it is always a struggle to find funding for middle school students. The thing that you have to remember is that if you want high school and college athletes to be successful in those arenas then their training starts in middle school. We are trying to also incorporate sports as an incentive but this will not work if someone is embarrassed to be on the team.
