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

We are a small school and therefore funding for athletics is often secondary. However we have seen how athletics helps students perform and behave better in the classroom. We are expected to be competitive against Division 1-3 schools but don’t have any funding for off season conditioning. Our students are great kids who are dedicated to the sport of basketball through early morning or after school practices and yet between the two teams we had over half earn a 3.5 GPA or above.

My Project

Our current basketballs constantly need re-pumping and are fraying at the seams. They have not been replaced in over seven years. New balls will help the girls see that hard work on the court is valued. It’s a physical representation of an investment into the team. The new basketballs will help them become more competitive and better prepared for the teams they will play this season. The girls will especially value that the balls were donated because it is symbolic that other people believe in their abilities as females in sports and not just their coaches. Better equipment also helps us recruit new girls as they see the team improving.
