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 Students

Our school is a Title I school that resides in a middle-class neighborhood with has a strong sense of community. Our students have grown together over the years and have made lasting friendships. Cypress has recently expanded to a K-8 Center which allowed our cheerleading squad to expand. Our cheer team is made up of exceptional education students and general education students coming together for the purpose of demonstrating school spirit. We believe all students are capable of participating in extra-curricular activities and we motivate students to be engaged and be the best they can be.

My Project

Our team is extremely excited to be taking a step toward our goal of becoming a fully ready cheer squad. We are working toward learning more about stunting, tumbling, and cheering. Our girls are motivated and put maximum effort into every practice.

By receiving donations to support this project, we will be able to have our cheerleaders challenge their abilities while staying safe.

Our students will be able to participate in stunting, tumbling, and cheering, which without mats, would limit our performances abilities. Safety plays a huge role in our practices and these mats would aid us in preventing our cheerleaders from getting seriously injured.

By utilizing these mats our practices will be challenging and enjoyable for all our team. We would greatly appreciate it if you would fund this project to assist us in getting our squad the practice set-up that they deserve.
