Celebrating 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 Students
My students are an incredibly diverse population. They come from many different cultures and backgrounds. I have many students that have a primary language other than English.
Many of my students receive free or reduced-price lunch; this allows them to have free or reduced-cost breakfast as well, but they are not able to actually get to school early enough every day to utilize this opportunity.
They work incredibly hard and are very attentive. Most of my students are preparing for college, some directly for a career, and a few for the military.
We are trying to create a community of tolerance, acceptance, and compassion within our school and our teams/clubs. The school is so incredibly diverse (religion, ethnicity, socio-economic, single-parent homes, grandparent homes, etc.), with many immigrants.
We also have many varsity sports including Football, Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, Lacrosse, Volleyball, Hockey, Track & Field, Gymnastics, Swimming, Cross Country, Tennis, Softball, Wrestling, Golf, Special Olympics, Dance, and Bowling. We also have an Ultimate Frisbee team and a Dodgeball Team.
My Project
This project is for the coaches of many of our varsity sports, including football, soccer, softball, volleyball, and lacrosse. Each season, we need to replace up to 100 uniform shirts due to them becoming worn, damaged, or a change in style. We need to have these uniform shirts to compete.
This project is for 64 uniform shirts to be replaced for the new season; uniform shirts vary in cost, but they average around $65 a piece.
We will also be getting ultimate frisbee shirts which are included in the 64 shirts.
Being a member of a varsity sport in high school is vitally important to the social and emotional skills of a student. Student-athletes are essential to a well-rounded school and this project will help our school significantly.
