Celebrating 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 school is a special place because it is one of the most diverse schools in our district. Our school mission revolves around accepting diversity! We have used sports to connect our students and have committed to being a healthy campus. In recent weeks, we have been challenged as a school and community, due to the catastrophic flooding from Hurricane Harvey. Located in West Houston, next to the Buffalo Bayou, we lost massive amounts of equipment.
We are now in a scramble to find equipment that intrigues kids to stay healthy!
Accommodating our large number of students has become even more of an untouchable situation because of our resources lost due to damage. Houston Independent School District was so greatly damaged that they have run out of available learning resources.
Through this life-changing event, we have stuck together and managed to create a limited learning environment, but need the community's help! We need to replace our weight and training equipment to provide these less fortunate students a diverse way to stay healthy. These resources will prevent our students from going down the wrong path and help towards living healthy!
My Project
I have noticed a great increase in the interest of "America's Pastime," baseball! I plan on incorporating this into our curriculum for the remainder of the year to promote a sense of patriotism! The students need gloves, and more importantly left handed gloves. We are also in need of training equipment to learn catching , and hitting which is why we are hoping to provide nets. Learning this new opportunity will also allow students to learn another way to live a healthy lifestyle. Having diverse ways to train the body and soul is important in developing long term success in physical education. Baseball is the perfect sport to experience if you've never had the opportunity!
