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

Physical education equipment has a short lifespan, and that goes double for PE equipment at an elementary school.

At our elementary school, our physical education department prides itself on teaching students the basics of team sports to cultivate a love for physical activity.

As time passes, our equipment will inevitably begin to fail from wear and tear. Students here have a profound love for basketball, and offering them new equipment would bring a great deal of joy.

Please consider donating to this cause to help our students get the most out of their PE experience. Thank you so much!
