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

The students at our school love Cross Country. We have a large team every year that ranges from kindergarten to 6th grade. They love watching themselves get better, and participating in the Meets with other schools in our district.

I am a new coach and need some supplies to help me get started.

The agility ladder, cones, and running parachutes will provide my students with equipment to help make practice fun! Using different activities will help keep practice exciting. We also need water bottles to assure we stay hydrated in the Arizona heat. The yard flags and Do Not Enter tape will help make the running path visible for our runners.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
