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

My students on the basketball team are dedicated, motivated and passionate about basketball. They give 100% effort at practice and games.

My students love the sport of basketball.

They arrive to school at least an hour before to play basketball. Students on the team are very dedicated to basketball and improving their skills. The team helps bring our school spirit to another level. On game days, everyone in the school is excited.

My Project

The students will use the scoreboard for games and practice. It will help make the games more professional. The traction mat and basketballs will help during game times, too. Most of my basketball players say they want to be a NBA player when they grow up. This scoreboard will give them that professional game atmosphere.

Some of my students only come to school for basketball.

The basketball team helps them on and off the court. Students become motivated inside the classroom to learn. They will learn that without working hard in the classroom, there is no basketball. Basketball also helps my students stay off the streets after school. The basketball team gives them an outlet to exercise and work hard after school. It will also teach them about leadership and sportsmanship. Please Help!
