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

The items requested will help support my students in an adaptive physical education environment. The items listed can help improve their ball set skills, locomotor skills, reaction timing, and coordination. My students work so hard and it's my goal, as their PE teacher, to have them participate in the least restricted environment. Many of my students face many adversities.

I want them to overcome and thrive, regardless of their adaptive needs.

Every child deserves the same opportunities. My students and I are very grateful for any support! They deserve the best!

Ms. Amelia Laux PS 89 Jose Peralta School of Dreamers Grades 6-8
