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

Our students work hard to play hard! We are in high need of gear and safety mats for our JV and varsity cheerleaders. They want to leap to high places, but cannot successfully fly into the air stunting at performances without the necessary equipment to keep them safe such as quality mats and essentials like aluminum water bottles that won't easily break to keep hydrated.

Finally, our team wants to bring the pride both in the halls and on the field, so we would love to gift our cheerleading teams with custom made t-shirts.

We have the creativity and ability to hand make the designs; we simply need your help to purchase the t-shirts!

We love our students and want to give them the best opportunities at success. Working in a Title I-funded school means our students often lack the equitable opportunities compared to students in more affluent areas. You can help change that and bring joy to their hearts and inspiration to the hard work they show up for both in and out of the classroom.
