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

As students participate in Physical Education during their Elementary years, they are looking for something that they can find a passion for. Having enough equipment to keep all students engaged can be challenging with small budgets and expensive PE equipment. My students come to class everyday wondering what they will be learning about next. Help me give them the best experience in learning about the game of baseball and softball by providing them the correct equipment to play the game correctly.

Help change a students overall health and lifestyle by finding a passion for baseball or softball.

They will learn how to hit, throw, catch, and run bases to be able to play the game.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
