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

My students are full of energy, enthusiasm, and a genuine love for learning—especially when it comes to physical activity. To support their growth, foster their teamwork skills, and encourage a lifelong love of fitness, we need some essential physical education equipment.

My goal is to create a dynamic and engaging physical education program that promotes fitness, teamwork, and fun.

Unfortunately, we don’t have the appropriate equipment to meet the needs of our active 5th graders. With your support, we can provide a floor hockey set, dodgeball set, an equipment organizer, and a variety of other new, high-quality PE equipment to enhance our students' physical education experience.
