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

My players are learning the game of lacrosse, and how skills learned on the field translate into real-life situations. I feel this game provides a great opportunity to help our student-athletes grow as young men. They represent our school with pride and play the game with passion.

The lacrosse team has one of the highest GPAs in the school.

Last season we had our third straight winning season and again played for the District Championship. Our school is a Title I school in which 96% of the student population qualifies for the free or reduced lunch program. Our student demographics are 77% Hispanic, 19% Black and 2% White.

My Project

We are planning our 4th annual lacrosse trip where we will visit Orlando, FL. Our town is a small, farming community located in the rural area of Collier County Florida. A large number of our families have limited funds available to contribute to their children’s extracurricular activities, and many of our players have never traveled outside our County. During our Spring Break trip, we will play local high school lacrosse teams, visit Universal Studios and participate in team building activities. On the last day of our trip, we will volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Orlando so that our players can give back to the community. Our Spring Break trips enable our team to compete against lacrosse teams that we would not ordinarily get a chance to schedule.

Our community is hard-working and family-orientated.

The majority of the families live at or below the poverty income level. This trip will allow the players to visit other cities in Florida and provide life experiences for our student-athletes that extend beyond lacrosse.
