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

My student-athletes are from one of the poorest neighborhoods anywhere in the United States. We have trouble finding funds for any more than just the basics. Our uniforms and equipment are used and worn. We will use this to get our setters more accurate with their sets.

We will utilize this equipment to help get our game to the next level.

Our setters will be able to use some of the same equipment that other schools are using to prepare and become highly successful. Our boys' team will also benefit from this equipment.
