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

Come join the fun. We have volleyball, kickball, dodge ball and tumbling. We play soccer, pickleball, football and tennis. Our students also engage in fitness, baseball and scooter activities. But what we need is more jump rope equipment for nontraditional games.

Our school is located in the heart of a large metropolitan city in the state of Washington.

The setting is a culturally diverse school with students from over 20 countries. They speak over 15 different languages. We serve over 230 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. Some of our kids have not been in a formal educational setting before, let alone a PE class. So they are fortunate and will get to experience a quality physical education program at our school.

My Project

Remember playing double dutch on the playground or black top when you were a kid? Or getting the jump ropes out and playing with your friends during recess? Those are the memories I want our students to remember. The school's goal is to provide as many traditional American activities for our students as possible. We'd like our kids to get introduced to such sports as football, soccer, weight training and fitness, volleyball, baseball, kickball, tennis, gymnastics, juggling, parachute games. But we also want them to be exposed to non traditional games such as hacky-sack, potato sack races, cageball, fling-sock and foam noodle games, as well as other games. And we want every student to learn to use the jump rope. We need different sizes for the kids.

Please help us help our non-American born students develop the passion for PE and lifetime fitness.

They love to try new activities and games. We are looking for small donations, such as $10, $15, $20. And we need your help. So if you had a good experience in physical education class in school and would like to help this project, we could use your support. Any donation will be greatly appreciated.
