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

Fifth grade students enjoy the opportunity to play softball during PE. I would love to provide the best experience so they continue to love and play this sport. This new equipment will allow all students to participate in the game. We need adequate gloves and safe equipment to ensure safety and a fun time!

Playing softball teaches students how to achieve a common goal by working as a team!

Softball culture has an empowering experience for our athletes, teaching the importance of community, positivity, and perseverance. Your support will empower these young athletes to shine on the softball diamond!
