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.

Every football player who plays in the NFL started out in little league flag football. I’m sure most of them threw the Nerf ball around with their mom and dad. And they dreamed of being football stars some day. Well, many of those dreams came true for the players who play for the Colts and Saints. My goal this year is to develop a football unit for our students. I want to teach them the basics. All of our students are from other countries. In fact when I say football they think of the American game of soccer. They do NOT know about the NFL. So I’m seeking donations to get Nerf footballs, flags and mesh pinnies. With these simple items I can develop a curriculum to teach them about the game of football. Our school is located in the heart of a large metropolitan city. The setting is a culturally diverse school with students from over 20 countries. They speak over 15 different languages. We serve over 250 kids. The majority of our population has lived in the US less than 2 years. Many of them have been here for only a few months. And most of our kids have not been in a formal education setting before, let alone a PE class. So they are fortunate and will get to experience a quality physical education program at our school. The school’s goal is to provide as many traditional “American activities” for our students as possible. And one of the most traditional classes offered through the years has been PE. We’d like our kids to get introduced to such sports as football, soccer, weight training and fitness, volleyball, baseball, lacrosse, kickball, tennis, hacky-sack, gymnastics, juggling, parachute games and with your help many of these activities can be introduced to them if we can get donations and funding from you. Please help us, help our non-American born students develop the passion for PE and lifetime fitness activities. Your donation will be greatly appreciated.
