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 Project

Welcome to South Shore Vikings Cheer which is housed at the South Shore Educational Complex in the heart of Canarsie Brooklyn servicing 6 different smalls schools within the campus space-all students at heart being VIKINGS tough. Cheer leading for boys and girls has become a positive way to encourage community and motivation for academic success despite the limitations of small school fractured budgets. Materials sought after will ease the financial burden for students paying for their own uniforms as a means to reward their academic and communal dedication for our community.

Ms. Melendez will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 26.
