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 students have a growing passion for soccer! We believe in fostering active lifestyles and providing opportunities for all children to experience the joy and benefits of team sports. We aim to encourage regular physical activity and promote lifelong healthy habits. Our goal is to develop teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and good sportsmanship. We aim to provide opportunities for success, a sense of belonging, and ensuring all students have the chance to participate and feel valued. Help us bring the excitement of soccer to our school and create positive memories for our students.

With your help, we can provide our elementary school students with the soccer balls that will help them learn, practice, and enjoy soccer.

The equipment would allow us to improve skill development: With proper-sized balls, our students can develop essential dribbling, passing, and shooting techniques. Having enough equipment means every child can be actively involved, reducing waiting times and maximizing their learning.
