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

I’m so excited to introduce our brand new cheerleading team and we need your support to make it a reality! My goal is to build a dynamic squad that will not only bring energy and enthusiasm to our school but also foster teamwork, discipline, and school spirit.

To ensure our cheerleaders can bring their best to every game and event, we need to equip them with essential gear-starting with pom-poms!

Pom-poms are more than just colorful accessories. They are vital tools for cheerleaders to amplify their routines, boost team spirit, and engage the crowd. As we build this team from the ground up, having the right equipment is crucial to making a strong and energetic debut.

We are not just building a team; we are creating a community. These cheerleaders will be role models, embodying teamwork, perseverance, and school pride. Your support is the spark that will ignite our team’s journey.
