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 students need extracurricular activities to keep them focused. Basketball is a multi-faceted sport. It teaches students responsibility, dedication, teamwork, and perseverance. For the basketball program, my students have to maintain a passing grade in all subjects as well as a behavioral grade.

Many students do not have a program in the community so this program gives them an opportunity to participate in an organized sport.

We provide uniforms for the students but, we could use basketball supplies to make our program more efficient. We have both a girls' and boys' varsity team. In the past, both the girl's and boys' teams have made it to the island championship, several teams have gone on to the city playoffs and have even won the City Championship. This team makes the school and community proud, but we need more support to keep going.
