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

Our PE classes include required PE for freshman and upperclassmen in our various elective PE classes (advanced physical conditioning, cardio fitness, and lifetime sports). Our demographics at the school include around 70% of our students on free and reduced lunches, so money is an issue, especially for some needs such as affording clothing. The students enjoy our activities, but can be restricted to feeling like they can be involved in electives due to something as small as not being able to buy shorts. We could use your help.

My Project

Over the past 2 years, our PE Dept. has been trying to fill our new cardio fitness room with equipment little by little, with the help of donations, grants, and our small PE Dept. funds. We started with getting 6 Concept 2 rowers, then 6 poor quality exercise bikes. Gradually, we were able to get 6 ski-erg machines, and finally 3 high quality Air Assault bikes. We are trying to get 6 Air Assault bikes with some help to fully complete our cardio fitness options.

This Air Assault Bike will get us a step closer to completing our goal of having 6 by the end of next school year.

This would help us handle having a class of 18 students being fully immersed in cardio equipment to improve cardiovascular endurance as well as muscular endurance of various body parts that each different machine employs. Our PE students will see great gains in these areas as well as our student-athletes. These machines can help injured athletes get in a low to no impact workout and help with recovery and fitness levels. Also, these machines can help with the conditioning of all athletes.

We hope someone can help us reach our goal of gaining more cardio equipment. Our students' health will see positive benefits as well as our sports programs.
