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 latest fundraiser aims to enhance our physical education program by purchasing new equipment, including hula hoops, floor dots, and stacking buckets.

These tools will be used to introduce exciting warm-up games that promote physical fitness, teamwork, and coordination among our students.

With your support, we can provide engaging activities that make exercise fun and accessible for all.

Stacking buckets, another versatile piece of equipment, offer a range of warm-up activities that build balance, speed, and precision. These activities are not only beneficial for physical development but also for cognitive skills, as students strategize and plan their moves. By incorporating these tools into our physical education classes, we can create a more diverse and stimulating environment that motivates students to stay active and healthy. Your contribution to this fundraiser will directly impact our students' physical and mental well-being, setting them up for a lifetime of fitness and success.
