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

I enjoy being able to be their for my students on and off field! Both sports and education are important. The sports help balance out the weight of academics. It is also a great way to keep our students occupied in a positive and healthy way! Most importantly my main needs are the soccer balls and soccer flags, BOTH play very important roles in soccer! Our real soccer lovers enjoy juggling a new ball every so often! The bag will be used to carry our game balls back and fourth to the field or away games.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
