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

Our Jaguar student athletes are some of the most dedicated and hard working kids you'll find. We want to support our varsity athletes with equipment that can enhance our training and season preparation. Our athletes need some updated equipment such as new basketballs, softballs and a pitching mat to help them prepare daily for their games. The pitching mat will be a huge addition to our softball program, as we spend most of our preseason indoors due to weather and will help strengthen our pitching rotation. Our equipiment update will help continue to growth of our athletic programs here and help push our student athletes along on their path to success in the 24-25 school year!
