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

These weighted bars and kettle weights will help to improve schools' fitness unit and overall student fitness and wellness. The goals for this it to show students different ways and opportunities to enhance their overall fitness without having to go to a gym or fitness center. Overall, this will benefit out program into making wellness and mindfulness program even better from this past year. This materials/equipment will benefit all students in the school from grades K-5th.

This year's fitness unit opened a lot of eyes, and this will only help better the program.
