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 activity in middle school is so important to the overall well-being of students. When they are active and physically fit, they are better able to handle the rigors of the classroom.

To train effectively, good equipment is vital to the process.

Our campus needs various upgrades to some of our equipment like tennis rackets, track and field batons, and soccer equipment. We also need new soccer goalie equipment, golf training aids, tape measures, and agility hurdles, amongst other equipment. These items will help us continue to ensure that our students stay healthy, active, and feeling grrrreeat!
