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

The equipment we're requesting will give the students more to play in groups and compete with each other. This will help to keep them fit and engaged in competitive sports. Many of my students play recreational or competitive soccer through the city. To be competitive you need to practice your skills. So we're asking for soccer balls and goals too! The kids also love to jump rope, but we have no long jump ropes for them to use. That is why we're asking for longer jump ropes. Lastly, we need a cart to put our equipment into.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
