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

We are a public high school that is located While we are fortunate to have a strong academic reputation, our school faces unique challenges due to its location and funding, that has been cut across city. As a result, we have limited resources for essential equipment and support services. Our dedicated athletes, who come from a community with limited access to sports facilities, work tirelessly to build a strong program. Limited access to sports facilities and resources can hinder our athletic programs. Despite these obstacles, our students and coaches are committed to building a successful and inclusive sports culture.Any additional funding or equipment donations would make a tremendous difference in our team’s ability to succeed.
