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

The soccer balls, practice goals, basketballs and other items requested will allow our students to grow in their sports teams and individual skill sets to become better student athletes and live a healthy, active lifestyle. The goal for this project is to provide our students with the proper equipment to become successful in the classroom. Due to an unforeseen fire in the gym, the school has lost all of our sports equipment. In order to have a successful school year, the students will need these items to be replaced.

Ms. Gomes East Ward Elementary School Grades PreK-2
