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

Drum Fit is a unique and engaging addition to our physical education program that goes beyond traditional activities like basketball or running laps. It combines physical activity with rhythm and music, offering students an exciting and inclusive way to stay active while developing coordination, focus, and teamwork. This program fosters a holistic approach to fitness, showing students that physical education can be creative, dynamic, and enjoyable. For many students, especially those who may not feel confident in traditional sports, Drum Fit provides a safe and supportive environment where they can build physical and emotional strength. Our students are special, each bringing their own unique challenges and talents to the classroom. Drum Fit meets them where they are by incorporating music and movement in a way that promotes both mental and physical health. Using yoga balls and drumsticks, students engage in high-energy drumming routines that boost cardiovascular fitness while reducing stress and anxiety. This approach to fitness not only strengthens their bodies but also their confidence and resilience, helping them see the value of staying active throughout their lives.

With your support, we can provide this transformative opportunity and help our students understand that physical education is about more than just exercise—it's about fostering a healthy mind, body, and spirit.

These tools will empower them to view fitness as a joyful, lifelong journey, making a lasting difference in their lives both in and out of the classroom.
