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 Students
Do you recall your old gym class? Was it all about jumping jacks and running laps?? Many of us adults had that experience and perhaps that's one of the reasons why we are not so fond of exercise now. I want to change that by making physical education fun and successful for all.
My students live in the inner-city.
They come from very modest means. They spend countless hours at school and rarely venture outside their industrial neighborhood. They all qualify for free federal lunches and cannot afford basic school supplies such as pencils, paper, and books.
Yet, they come to school daily with a smile and ready to do their very best. They have great aspirations and are eager to learn new things. My students are caring and have the biggest hearts and regardless of all their struggles they work hard to overcome many hurdles in their lives.
My Project
I am requesting a Health and Nutrition box to teach my students the importance of a healthy body now. I notice that many of my students come to school tired and sluggish due to poor diets. Most of their daily breakfast meals consist of cereals that are high in sugars. They tend to eat many meals that are high in sodium and refined flour.
I want to teach my students the importance of eating healthy. I want to teach them to make the right food choices. I want them to learn that what they put into their bodies can greatly affect their health on a positive or negative way.
In addition I am requesting, a balance and flexibility kit to incorporate into our physical educations routine. I am also requesting a Cool Aerobics for Kids CD to add aerobics to our physical education routine. I want students to love exercise. I want to foster good eating and exercise habits.
Please help me teach the importance of a proper nutrition and the effects it has on the human body.
Your donations will allow me to foster in my students a love for exercise by incorporating enjoyable physical education experiences for all my students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
