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

Our students and their families are really special. We have a large school, with an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse population, and we work hard to create opportunities for our community to get together to share their unique experiences and engage in and celebrate learning.

With a majority of the families in our school living in poverty, we try to create innovative learning experiences that build our students' repertoire.

We want to offer students at our Title I public school the same sorts of experience that students in rich public schools receive. We are focused on social justice and educational equity.

My Project

My students asked me to post this grant for sports equipment. They are asking for soccer balls, footballs, and basketballs to use in team sports and for fun. They need more equipment because they say that at lunch the equipment is being used and some students go without.

Everyone wants to have fun and be on a team.

These balls will make a difference because more students will be able to participate in team activities. They will be used for team sports, as well as during lunch and in Physical Education class. Students who have been active at lunch and after school are oxygenated and ready to learn! Thank you in advance for considering funding this project!
