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

Soccer is a great team sport to help students build unity and strength.

With the equipment donated students will have enough tools to practice their lower body skills.

The soccer balls and portable goals will make a huge difference to their learning and our schools physical education program. With these tools students can practice lower body dribbling, target aiming and striking.

I envision all students enjoying the new equipment so that they can practice individually before coming together. Students in our community often struggle with opportunities to stay active and work in teams in a safe environment. The neighborhood lacks resources and with this it will truly bring a smile to their face.
