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 are the changing faces of America! Most of our students are first-generation Americans. With over 90% of our school receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the need is there.

As a Title I school in East Las Vegas, our students need your help.

Our school is the first and only college prep charter school in East Las Vegas. Our students work rigorously during our extended year and extended day school. However, the success of our school revolves around the people. The teachers, students, families, and donors like you, make this school reach the levels some would see as impossible!

My Project

This spring we will be the first year our school competes at the state level in high school track and field. To do so, we need proper footwear.

Help give our students track spikes to help run fast during the season.

Track spikes are the sneakers you wear during track help provide grip and stability during running which normal sneakers do not have. Track spikes help prevent slipping and thus help prevent injury.

By donating to our cause you will help set up our team for success in our first year of state-sanctioned competition. Not only will this help our team run fast safely, but also run in style.
