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 Students

My students consist of a wide range of personalities that all have one thing in common, the eagerness to grow as students. With your support of my project, I will be able to provide my students with resources for success and to be physically active.

My goal is to help students find a lifelong physical activity they can enjoy.

My students will work hard to get smart, have fun, and will be college-ready! They are researchers, mathematicians, scientists, authors, historians, etc. My students are the future of El Paso and members of our future society. Every day, they come ready to refine their motor skills and eager to learn about their body.

My Project

Our track team is really eager for this season to start and they really love to run and they're very good at it. Every year they are breaking records after records after records. It is exciting to see them train and work hard every single day and they are only in middle school.

Just wait until they get into high school!

In this project, I am asking for K Bands which will be very beneficial, because with these bands it will help them with their speed and strength. That means they will become faster and stronger. I am also asking for the running parachute because this will also help them build overall strength. These items will help them progress in their offseason, which will translate to their upcoming season.
