Exciting Physical Education

Help me give my students a fun physical education experience. My students favorite sport is volleyball and the equipment will make their experience so much better. Different equipment in my cart will be exciting for my P.E. children.

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

In a low income area, my students do not get the chance to experience different physical education activities.

I hope with this equipment to make exciting classes and also keeping my adaptive physical education students focused and on task.

The different equipment will help me keep them engaged. I want to give my children different experiences and exciting obstacles.

I’m hoping with the help of donors that I can give my students different activities that they haven’t seen before. My students love to try new things and getting the new equipment will help them with their physical education experience
