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

These items will help us continue our improvement on the basketball court. We have always strived to put our best effort in the classroom and on the court. Over the past few seasons we’ve had balls start to wear out and are in need of replacing. By having more basketballs there are more drills that can be accomplished. The defensive “dummies” can help simulate shooting over people and allow different drills to be set up and the ball bag will allow us to bring basketballs to the game. We appreciate any assistance overall and thank you.
