Help me give my students P.E equipment that will encourage them to develop a healthy lifestyle. With adequate P.E. equipment, my students will be more active and develop healthy exercise habits. It's time get moving!
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
I am a 5th grade teacher at a low-income and high poverty elementary school located in El Cajon, CA. At my school, approximately 90% of our students and their families are living below the poverty line. Additionally, about 70% of our population are English language learners. Many of our students have been exposed to extreme trauma and hardships such as neglect, homelessness, and abuse. As an educator, I have made it my mission to provide these students with a safe place for them to learn and feel loved.
In my 5th grade class, I strive to create an inclusive community, which allows each student to feel safe and valued.
My Project
Currently, our school has very minimal P.E. equipment to share between All students in grades K-5. This is approximately 600 students. Additionally, the equipment that we do have is worn or unusable. P.E is essential at all schools, but it is especially important at low-income schools. Childhood obesity disproportionally affects children from low-income families.
I want to give my students the opportunity to be active every single day and promote good physical fitness.
With your help, I can teach my students the value of exercise and physical activity. Together, we can get my students moving and develop lifelong exercise habits.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
