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

2023 was a big year for our baseball team. We had more hits, runs, and stolen bases than any other year. We tied our record for wins and our 8th graders demonstrated great leadership. We have some very eager 6th and 7th graders who are ready for even more playing time next year.

One area where we have a lot of demand is the position of catcher.

Our young guys really want to get involved on defense and we are due to replace some of our gear due to wear and tear. A new set of gear would help our newer players start our next season with confidence.
