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

Our students are in need of more physical indoor play. We have the space, and we've found the perfect solution...a climbing wall!

A climbing wall can provide students with a fun and challenging physical activity that can promote physical fitness and teamwork skills.

Additionally, it can be a way for students to learn problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, and can also provide an opportunity for stress relief and increased self-esteem.

Our students will be so excited and motivated to try this! Most of them have not had the opportunity to use this type of equipment before. Sure, some may be afraid to try, but the success they can experience at any level will quickly cause their concerns to leave and change to pride in their achievement.

It will provide them with a safe, confident building activity that provides feedback for growth, development and fun.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
