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

85% of the youth today are out of shape. The students that I teach need some sports equipment to help them learn some fun, healthy games to get in better health. The volleyballs will help them with stamina and muscle support. The soccer balls will help them develop hand and eye coordination. Also, the balls will help them get great exercise instead of sitting down and doing nothing.

Regular physical activity can help children and adolescents improve cardiorespiratory fitness, build strong bones and muscles, control weight, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and reduce the risk of developing health conditions.
