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 Special Olympic team is a group of dedicated athletes who train and compete in a variety of sports, such as basketball, soccer, and track and field. They work hard throughout the year, with the support of coaches, families, and volunteers, to prepare for competition days. Their teamwork, spirit, and perseverance are truly inspiring!

We are asking for water to keep them hydrated, snacks to keep their bellies full, and individual bags to care for their personal items.

Our students put in a lot of effort training consistently to improve their skills and give their best performance when the big competition day arrives. Please consider donating to our Special Olympic team to keep them fueled during track and field events!
