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

How will the specific items you’re requesting make a difference in their learning?

The equipment I am requesting will provide my soccer players with the necessary tools to train effectively and safely.

Many of my students lack access to proper gear, and having quality equipment will allow them to develop their technical skills, improve their fitness, and enhance their understanding of the game. Additionally, having the right resources fosters discipline, teamwork, and confidence—important life skills that extend beyond the field and into the classroom.

What are your goals for this project?

My goal is to ensure that every player has access to the equipment they need to train at a high level, regardless of their financial situation. By providing items such as warm-up gear, training cones, agility ladders, and soccer balls, I want to create an environment where my athletes can push themselves, improve their skills, and compete at their best. Additionally, I want to instill a sense of pride in the team by ensuring they have the proper gear to represent our school with confidence.

What makes your students special?

My students are incredibly hardworking, resilient, and passionate about the game of soccer. Many of them balance academics, work, and family responsibilities while dedicating themselves to the sport. Despite facing various challenges, they show up every day eager to learn and improve. They support one another like family and take pride in representing our school. Their determination and love for the game make them truly special, and I want to provide them with the resources they deserve to help them succeed.
