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 school is a Title I school with almost all of my students qualifying for free lunch. Many of my student-athletes struggle academically therefore every weekday from September through June, my students come to study hall from 3-4pm and then we head out to practice or play games.

My students are primarily from immigrant families from the Dominican Republic.

Almost all of them qualify for free lunch and many are English Language Learners. My students care a lot about getting to college and starting a career that can support their family. They are passionate about baseball and it is a tremendous motivator for them both in school and on the field. My school is an unscreened public school in Washington Heights. We have about 350 students in our High School. Our school is considered to be one of the top unscreened High Schools in New York city. That is, our students do not have to take a test or any other entrance requirement to be enrolled here, they simply apply. We have an amazing and hardworking faculty who regularly stay after hours to support our students, and our sports program's goal is to support their hard work as much as possible

My Project

My students needs uniforms in order to play inter-school competition in our local league. Team fleece/jacket helps keep the kids warm and in uniform as many of them do not own a proper coat or other apparel for cold March/April games. We need equipment every year, and since my students need to ride public transportation to and from practice and games, they need bags to carry the gear as well as their school books. The benefits of competitive HS Varsity sports are well documented and it really supports our students' academic performance.

My students would not be able to play their season without a home and away uniform per league rules.

We are also responsible for providing game balls at all home games. Not only will this donation allow my students to play their season, but it will allow me to use my limited budget on other needed items like replacing broken catchers gear, bases and bats, and paying the cost of non-league games and tournaments.
