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 excited every day they walk into the gymnasium and I want to make sure they have the right equipment to develop an appreciation for physical activity and living a healthy lifestyle. We are in desperate need of training equipment such as basketballs and soccer balls for our physical education program. Students can share higher success through practice when they have access to more equipment and don't have to share one ball with six others during skills learning. Please help us win this year with some additional equipment!
