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 student-athletes are from the Southeast side of Chicago. They are inner-city student-athletes with love and passion for the game of Soccer. Our school's soccer program is highly competitive while instilling a fun atmosphere and enforcing good sportsmanship. We teach our student-athletes how to be leaders and prepare them for whatever lies ahead.
We pride ourselves in instilling to our student-athletes the importance of excelling both on and off the field.
We encourage our student-athletes to be just as excited about helping the community as they are for soccer, venturing out, and helping at local food pantries and other community events.
What makes my players special is that despite the overwhelming odds of growing up in a tough neighborhood on the Southside of Chicago, they maintain their energy and love for the sport; there is no challenge they will not take head-on.
My Project
All youth need, is a little motivation and someone who believes in them. Most students haven't been back in the building in over a year and a half, remote learning has taken an enormous toll on students both mentally and physically. This year's graduation will look a little different, and parents and students alike are feeling down about it.
This year's graduating class will miss out on almost all of their traditions, No class trips like roller skating and camping, no 8th grade luncheon/dance - In these hard times, these Graduation packages will make their last days of elementary school a little brighter.
With your help, we can put a smile on my homeroom students' faces during one of the most important and memorable times of their lives.
