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.
Coming together from every walk of life, students at my school come from a huge array of socioeconomic backgrounds from all over one of the larger cities in California. Our school boasts busing from around the district, and many of the students (and indeed the school itself) are located in one of the poorest and most polluted zip codes in the country.
One of the greatest gifts we can give each student is the ability to learn and acquire skills that will not only help them achieve their goals, but also to know enough to be able to dream big lofty goals and realize they have what it takes to accomplish their goals and dreams.
Families are encouraged in the learning process as well; our district offers parent classes regularly in the area, as well as provides a medical clinic within walking distance from the school. Additionally, all students receive free meals, and receive the opportunity to participate in extra curricular clubs and tutoring after school daily. Our school truly provides numerous opportunities for all students to succeed!
My Project
This project will replace our team water polo caps to be inclusive to the new middle school that is now joining our regional team. Up through this year, our middle school was the only school in our district with a water polo team. As such, our caps are branded with our specific school name and mascot, and we competed with schools outside of our school district. This project will allow my team to purchase a new set of water polo caps that will be branded under our Regional header, to allow students joining us from a neighboring region middle school to feel part of the team.
Your generous donation will allow students from a neighboring regional school to join our water polo team, affording them an opportunity to participate in a great sport that would not have otherwise been an option.
Coming in to a new sport at a different school is difficult enough without the equipment being branded with the name and mascot of the other school.
