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.
Two years ago when I introduced the sport of lacrosse to our students they had no clue what it was about. "A sport Indians played? You're crazy coach!" would be a typical response. This year we are starting our third season and lacrosse is one of the more popular and successful sports in school.
We are one of the more successful Title I schools in our state with over 3000 students and over 90 nationalities.
Our students are hard working, precocious, multi-lingual, academic, and come from a variety of backgrounds. They would love nothing more than have the opportunity to pursue the great American dream.
My Project
My students need supplemental lacrosse sticks and balls for the upcoming season. The needed sports equipment would be used by our students to grow our sport through the formation of a junior varsity program. We have enough equipment to field small varsity teams but it is not enough for the continually growing popularity of lacrosse here at our school. A junior varsity program would help students play the sport who would otherwise not be able to because of equipment shortages.
Donations to our project would enhance the student academic quality of life through our athletics programs.
Many of our students are excited that they can add lacrosse to their college applications.
