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

I work in an inner city school that lacks in funds. We have not received funds since post pandemic. This is our first year with a volleyball program in our middle school. We are lacking competitive volleyballs for each of our programs. Both boys and girls volleyball teams will benefit from having these volleyballs. We do not have enough volleyballs for each student and need new volleyballs. With this, more students will be able to participate and we will have more students included and participate in a sport to help with their lack of exercise.
