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

Students love to be given opportunities outside the classroom to succeed. Whether it's a club, an arts program, or sports, our children thrive better in the classroom when they are involved in more than academics. We love this and strive to create opportunities to grow. We are growing a volleyball program that has doubled in size within the last two years. We'd like to keep putting forth efforts to reach more volleyball players but we just don't have the supplies needed to support them.

We want to extend our girls volleyball program to our 6th graders, giving them a strong foundation of basic skills necessary to compete.

The balls purchased will allow us to give players a ball to take home to practice with. Net trainers and agility equipment will be used to advance our 8th grade players to be more competitive, especially those players desiring to play in high school.
